Good morning all,
After a long wait (Brew date of mid-january), I tasted the Belgian Tripel i made as my first brew and I think its time to bottle. Taste pretty good and it is around 8-9% ABV right now base on my calculations. I am pretty excited to bottle but have one question.
I know I have to boil priming sugar before adding it, does it matter what kind of pot i use to do this? I know you did want to boil the wort in a regular aluminum pot because of oxidation worries, if its not pre-treated/conditioned, but does it matter for the boiling of the priming sugar.
Optional: I had this beer in my primary from about Jan15th to Feb 7th or so, then in my secondary till now. Do you think 2 weeks or 3 weeks 60-70 degrees. Then another week in the fridge.
Looking forward to finishing this one and start two more.
Thanks.
