Hey folks!
Okay, so I had brewed up a honey tripel awhile back. After being in the primary for about a month until the bubbling stopped, I racked to 2ndary. Let's say that it's been about 6 weeks since then... Anyway, multiple other projects around the house are in between me and bottling day... I know that it's not THAT big of a deal if I let it go a week or two more, right? I'm not terribly worried about that.
But my questions are:
1) Would you add dry yeast at bottling at this point (or let's say at the 2 month mark)? And if so, with what? And furthermore....
2) Can I get away with bottling normally with caps, or should I strongly consider corking these bottles? I don't have the means to do so right now, but if I should need to, I ought to get on the ball with that soon...
Also, I figure it ought to be about 9% ABV, if that helps.
Thanks!
