Priming Brews over a year in seconadry?

[norrisk66]

Hi All,

I have a RIS that has been in secondary fermentation for about 18 months-
in a used 5 GAL whiskey barrel.

FG when I racked to the barrel was 1.031.

I normally keg and force carbonate all my brews.

However, I would like to bottle this batch.

Since there is likely little yeast activity left, how would one prime this before bottling for carbonation?

I am considering racking the barrel to a corny keg, force-carbonating, and bottling from my keg.

Thanks in advance!
Keith

Force carbing and bottling from the keg is probably your best option

Or, try CBC-1 yeast, added with your priming sugar
