Got an idea I want to try...
It will involve using a different strain of yeast than I brewed with.
I'll wait til fermentation is nearly done, crash cool, and then when transferring to the bottling bucket, add the new yeast.
So the question is: how much yeast should I add?
My plan was to add the entire White Labs vial to my batch (5.5 gallons).
Is that OK? I'm thinking it will be adequate, and that I won't need to create a starter. As well, that there won't be any risk of bottle bombs.
Of course this is mostly speculation... can someone let me know if any of this thinking is off?? Thanks!!
