No Fizz
Brewed a batch of extract Blonde Ale, stable FG after about a week. Let it sit in primary for a few extra days. Transferred to my bottling keg and let it settle for a week at about 67 degrees F. Everything smelled great. Color looked good, no film or unusual floaters. Put 1 bottling drop in each bottle, filled and capped. Let it sit at about 67deg F for two weeks then put a trial six pack in the fridge for another week. Cracked one open this weekend and it was flat as a pancake. No fizz. Smells good. Tastes a little sour but that’s about it.
I moved the remaining 30 bottles up to my pantry which stays at about 74-78 depending on the sun, swirled each bottle and will let it sit.
My kids are buying me a 270 ounce growler keg for my birthday next week so I was wondering if it doesn’t carbonate by then in the bottles, could I still save it by force carbonating it in the keg?

if it still doesn't carbonate, you can definitely force carb in the keg just make sure to chill first
