Want to make my first batch, and have two questions:
1. Ed's original 5 gal recipe used 5gr pack of Monty. I'm making 2.5 gals and want it a little sweeter/ fruitier, so using Wyeast 3068. Since I am making half of the recipe, would I simply use 2.5gr of this yeast? Or is another amount required for this type of yeast and 2.5 gal batch?
2. I bottle my small batches of beer in PET bottles with screw on caps. This works for me since they do not sit around long after 3-4 weeks of conditioning. However, never made the AW and do not know quick it carbs or how long it will last compared to beer. Do you think my screw on caps and bottle carbing will be okay for AW?
Thanks.
