I have been brewing for a couple years now and every once in a while I come across something that catches my interest. When I add the yeast to my brew, I always add the yeast in dry form directly into each bottle.
I came across something that made me second guess my method. I read a recipe where the person dissolves the yeast in warm water then pours it into an Ale Pail with the brew, then from the pail, the brew is divided into the bottles.
I have been doing it my way and have had great success. I have been doing it that way to achieve more even carbonation from one carboy to the next. I know that 1/8 tsp. is what I need for each gallon. However, trying to measure the appropriate amount of yeast for 16 oz. Bail Top bottles is guess work at best.
What I am wondering is, if I were to dissolve the yeast into warm water, then pour it into my Ale Pail with the brew, and dispense into all of my carboy's and bottles, would I get even yeast disbursement and thus even carbonation from one jug/bottle to the next?
Does anyone have any experience in this?
Thanks for the help.
