Please let me know if this sounds workable.
I have a mild in the primary fermenter right now, brewed almost two weeks ago. I want to use the yeast cake (or at least part of it)for a higher gravity brew.
I will brew again this weekend, and move the mild into the bottling bucket. Then I will put the bottling bucket in my fridge at 40 degrees and maybe drop some gelatin in. Then I can bottle the next day, or after a few days. Its like using the bottling bucket as a secondary.
While thats going on, I have tons of nice, fresh yeast for the new batch of beer, and a now empty primary fermenter.
At bottling, I will add my sugar, stir gently, and bottle. Should I change the amount of priming sugar since the beer will be cold and thus retain more CO2?
Thanks for the help. This is a great forum.
