So I am using a bourbon barrel to age my stout and the first batch is taking 6 weeks to provide barely any carbonation.
i am thinking the yeast was too weak after 4 weeks in fermenters and then 6 weeks in barrel.
While I believe with more patience the first batch will be fine, however I would like to speed up carbonation on second batch. Anyone have any experience/tips with adding yeast to bottling bucket?
I was thinking buy dry yeast, rehydrate for a few days in a starter and pitch to bucket. Is it that simple?
Thanks!
