I just brewed a Saison and I'm going to carbonate it in a keg, but I'm looking at alternatives to force carbonation.
So has anyone noticed a difference (hopefully positive) with adding DME or what I'm looking at, some syrup (D-45 from Candi Syrup).
And how does one go about this. I assume that before the beer goes into the carbonation vessel all the conditioning has been done, cold crashed and transfered as clear as possible, etc. So I've eyed balled, weighed the keg, whatever and see that I have 4.8 gallons. I do the math and see that I need xgrams of syrup. Do I just sanitize the package, put on some gloves and weight in to a sanitized bowl and dump it into the keg? Add a few pounds of CO2 and set it in a warm room? Do I need to boil the syrup w/water?
