---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 10:26:58 -0500 From: Keith Busby <kbusby at wisc.edu> Subject: bottle conditioning/refermentation (delurk) 1) I have a tripel in a 5-gal carboy that has been in secondary for about 5 weeks now and would like to bottle condition it as per Westmalle procedures. Assuming the normal amount of priming sugar, how much yeast do I add? I am going to use Wyeast 3787. One swollen smack pack? Half? Stepped up? 2) I also have two 5 gal batches of p-lambic, one a blend of 05 and 06, the other straight 08. Both are now very sour and will need to be blended with something younger to be palatable to anyone except a diehard with a concrete aesophagus. I'm thinking blending with a lightly hopped ESB-type brew with some residual sweetness and/or just a young p-lambic. Same question re bottle conditioning. TIA, Keith Busby Return to table of contents
