had a bottle of blue dot last n8 that had basically zero carbonation
was odd, tasted like syrup or something
tried holding the bottle about a foot over the glass and poor just the slightest amount possible and i still couldnt create any head
second bottle exactly the same
looking for feedback on what happened
bad botteling? capping?
bottle conditioned? by the sounds of it (syrupy and non carbed) either the yeast crapped out or it was clearly given enough time to referment in the bottle to product carbonation, but even then it should clearly feel or tasty syrupy as it is clearly that much added sugar
Never had a bluedot but I've had hotd brews with capping issues. However, you could see the cap was clearly seated properly prior to opening it.
Do you have a batch code or bottling run number?
I would contact them and explain your experience. If it is a recent batch they might have time to act on it before it goes through all the distribution lines.
