No carbonation in bottles

[perryni]

I brewed a batch then after 2 weeks in the primary I transferred to a barrel and left for 2 weeks, I then bottled straight from this barrel using coopers carbonation drops. Now it's only been in the bottle for 2 weeks but I have opened 2 and there is no carbonation at all!

First question, how can I save this batch?

Second question, has the yeast settled out of the beer during the 2 weeks the beer has been sitting in the barrel meaning there will be no carbonation?

Cheers

Are the bottles kept in the warm?

I would have thought there would have been
enough yeast in suspension for carbonation,
may be someone on here knows better.

They had a week in the warm as I usually do now they are sat at around 10-12 degrees

10c i think may be about the temp at which point ale yeast stops working (~?).

some beers can need in excess of 1 month in the warm to carbonate properly, i'd bring them back into the warm and then carefully rouse some of the yeast in bottle by gently inverting them, then give them 3 or so weeks of warm if you can do that ?

if it was a lager you made, then no idea!
