Publix AJ + 3068?

[elmetal]

I tried to experiment so I put 5g of publix AJ (aj + abscorbic acid) on a 3068 yeast cake.


It's been 2 weeks. I forgot brown sugar
Should I add brown sugar now to reactivate fermentation and boost abv or bottle as is?

also how much priming sugar am I looking at?

Its up to your taste. Be careful if you add sugar, it will foam like crazy

 

[elmetal]

hmm.... it's in an ale pail right now so I may just add it... do I just pour it in and stir or boil with water to dissolve?

 

[CvilleKevin]

pour and stir. Taste it first, you may not want to add sugar. Add a little at a time, brown sugar is fairly strong tasting

If you're going to add brown sugar after the initial fermentation has slowed down or stopped then you'll want to dissolve it in some boiling water and cool it down in the same way you'd cool down your wort. Boil 1 cup of water for every 3/4 cup you intend to add. Once it is cool enough (warm to the touch) just dump it into the fermenter. You don't need to stir it in or anything.

Keep in mind the higher the alcohol content the longer it'll take to become pleasant to drink. I find that most apple juice and cider has enough sugar that a beer yeast will ferment down to a perfect balance of apple and alcohol

Add 3/4 cup of dextrose to prime.
