I just brewed a Zombie Dust clone (BIAB), thought I had an issue with the fermentation but seems it all happened quick, it was done in a day or so, set in fermentor for 2 weeks.

With that said I primed and bottle, let the bottles set for 2 weeks, opened and tasted. Get a good hoppy taste, just a tiny bit of fizz and absolutely no foamy head. Do I need to let it set a couple more weeks?

thanks for any thoughts

Do you have any hydrometer readings to tell you how the fermentation was progressing? You said the fermentation happened quickly; what tells you that it was complete?
 
I've had some batches that took about 4 weeks to carbonate. Don't know if my basement is cooler than what my homebrew had been used to. While you wait, brew another!
 
No foam and little carbonation? Did you wash your glasses with soap?

Detergent doesn't remove carbonation, does it? I thought that just affected head retention.
