@ cape no not in bottles. I just put it in the secondary about 10 min ago. I did put the 2oz cascade hops in but no more yeast just what it started with (notty).

WOOOO HAAAA Just sipped from my sample bottle. Very strong alcohol up front and finished hint of sweet and smooth. I think it's a no go on more yeast it may dry it out just secondary and dry hop. I have to say I am really really happy with what I tasted expecting a alcohol syrup. Nothing like that at all just might be ok. Now one more question any ideas on figuring the actual abv? Would the best way be to take an exact size like 100ml and put that in a pot and boil the alcohol off and see whats left? If so what temp should I get it to and for how long? Also now that I am way more excited and optimistic about how this will turn out any reason I should bottle instead of keg I prefer to keg and have 2 empty. I was going to bottle thinking I may have to sit on this for a while but not so sure about that now.
Christafer11 said:as to the avitar and photos oh well at this point I have NO interest in paying for this site. If you want to see the pics I put the link if it didn't work OH WELL.
I am sticking around and will keep doing what I want like I said before that's one of the reasons we home brew. It's to bad hbt doesn't allow some pic's like 3 or so for the non paying members. @Hap noting personal about the pic thing. I know the good people are worth it and well outnumbers the bad.
unless you're using the keg to carbonate or plan to drink it flat, you're gunna need the champagne or 099 yeasts. notty is dead and won't be able to carbonate. theres no fear of them making this dry since the low IBUs will keep it sweet
That would be added after aging though, at bottling time right?
Still not sure about keg or bottle. I really dislike bottling a lot. I would put in keg with out hesitation I have empty's but not sure how long I can keep in there. I have never kept in keg long term. Would it be ok to keep in keg for 6months to a year as long as its hooked up to co2? If I did add the extra yeast I would prob do it about a week before bottle would make sense. Since I have all ready racked to secondary and off yeast bed. I think Ill let it sit for a while and see maybe sample and see if it's something I would drink in a few months maybe keg but more than likely will bottle just makes sense to bottle that type of beer.
Yooper, you must know...
I'm curious about how one would bottle carb a high abv beverage like this, can you just add an alcohol tolerant yeast, like EC-1118, at bottling with your priming sugar?
Or do you pretty much need to carb it in a keg and then bottle it?
Thanks, and sorry for the hi-jack Chris.

Thanks Yooper and dcp.
Sorry about the question, but I don't have any kegging gear and won't have room in the budget for anything like that anytime soon.
So, you just wanted to waste my time with finding the post, answering the question and then using search to give you the appropiate thread and to answer futher questions? And you really didn't care because you don't have any intention of buying/having kegging gear anytime soon?
Nice.
Slick D0ug!
