So I gave up bottling a few years ago. Since then I have been kegging only. But today, I brewed a 10 gallon batch with a buddy of mine. I keg, he bottles.
We split the brew into 2 5 gallon fermenters, he took his 5 home and plans on sticking to the same schedule as me, but bottle it.
I made starters, each 1litre of my conan yeast.
How will I know he has enough yeast left over to carb his bottles?
I feel that if his wort ferments properly my little conan buds will be around when he adds priming sugar and bottles.
But, is there a way I can know for sure? OG is 1.069 - Exp fg 1.013 This yeast has been strong for me, this is batch #6 I have used it in, making starters for each, using 500ml of yeast/wort that was collected from a previous 1500ml starter. And repeated all along.
Any advice? I would hate to have him bottle, and not carb! That would be a waste of a lot of work, time and money!
