Hello, this is my first post to this forum and its the first Brewing help forum I have subscribed to.
I have a brew currently in fermentation (23 Litres) and Im planning on using a pressure barrel and bottles for the secondary fermentation. The pressure barrel only has a 20 Litre capacity, so the excess will be bottled. I have the following questions:
1. How much beer do I put in the pressure barrel, i.e. do I fill it to the top or just put 19 Litres in?
2. Wilkinsons sell a Brewing Sugar for about £2.00 can I use this as priming sugar, or do I use normal white sugar (tea/coffee sugar)
If anyone can help me to answer and of the above, it would be most appreciated
Thanks in advance
Karl
