To not confuse anyone here, I am talking again about getting to full maximum carbonation in the bottle. Not just drinkable carbonation. For example when you fast carb in a keg if you set at 30psi...

You could use 1056 American Ale yeast which will ferment down to 60 deg or 1728 Scottish Ale yeast which will go down to 56 deg. I would go with the 1056 myself. Cheers!

I would go with 5-10% of the grain bill starting at 5% and work up. Carapils is very light and will not change the beer's color. Or you could use say .5 lb wheat malt and .5 lb carapils. That is...
