Is there reall any difference between letting the primary fermentation reach 95% completion, and bottling without priming sugar into 2 litre bottles - and letting the fermentation go to, say, 99%, then racking into secondary, leaving a while then bottling, with or without extra yeast and priming sugar. After all, in the 2 litre bottle, the yeast is still acting on the beer, the beer goes from green to eminently drinkable in say 4 weeks. Note, I am not discussing techniques for kegged beer with or without carbon dioxide top pressure.
