Hello,
I'm brewing five beers for my friends' wedding. My rolling kegerator can hold up to 3 kegs, which means I'm going to bottle two. The beers are:
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone
Blue Moon clone
Newcastle clone
Apricot ale
Honey-Rosemary Saison
The SNPA, Newcastle, and Apricot should all be at about the same carbonation levels, so I'm thinking about kegging them and bottling the Blue Moon and the saison.
I do know that I want to bottle condition the saison, as it'll have a higher carbonation level than the other beers. I'm not sure about the Blue Moon though. It's been so long since I've had one, so I don't remember how much carb it has; and since according to a reliable source they use a neutral American yeast strain, meaning that the SNPA, Apricot, and BM are all going to be fermented with US-05, should I go that route instead, bottling the saison and Newcastle?
Thoughts?
