Possibly yeast spores getting through? Just a guess

Plain suger. After racking by syphoning into buckets. I clean out the yeast left then put the clear beer back in the fermenter then I stir…

It's always bottle carbonated good as. Usually enough fiz to be drinkable after 11 days and fully done in 14. It's surprising when I remove…
