HB Bo Pils (now in bottles!)

 

[TwistedGray]

Actually, it was fermented out. It would've never bottle conditioned on its own. I had to add champagne yeast and sugar, but I couldn't find a ratio anywhere so I guesstimated...incorrectly! @orionol73

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Habanero was light. Flavorful ipa tho. Finishing some awesome 16% Sake while playing Arms on the Switch with granddaughter.

A young, Westmalle Trappist ale clone. It was still very good depite its youthfulness.

Crap. The last of my allotment of veil until October.

Maybe this mess will clean itself up if I sit here and drink a beer.

Ahhhh...got it!! I always use the Northern Brewer calculator and take 10% off the sugar quantity listed. Takes a little longer to get good carb but never goes over...something to think about

Hb Belgian Pale

Good point. +1. These carb drops suck..too much carb. That's about what I did in the past and worked great.

This..ok..bit West Coasty..

 

[Pyg]

always love this beer. Better in draft, but will take it when I can get it!

 

[TwistedGray]

@orionol73 good to know...first time putting fresh yeast so was clueless to the sugar side of the calculation. Also it is hard to get 3-5 grains of yeast!

1/2tsp table sugar per 12oz. It's perfect

Agreed they suck, always over carbed unless you drink it all in the first month. I bottle all my batches (5g) and have only had 1 batch blow (due to not letting cherries ferment out) and always use that calculator for about 30 batches now. Make the priming solution, add to bottling bucket, rack beer, bottle

I don’t think amount of yeast should matter, but champagne yeast may be a different deal. Plus always used existing yeast in solution. Sugar should be he determining factor. Worst has been a RIS that sat in secondary for 2 months before bottling that never carbed up right...maybe will?

This sour has no residual yeast, so if I just added sugar it would never carb. That's the issue

I am worthy!

Just trying to quantify my experience so you can apply to what you’re doing, not saying it’s the rule batch priming makes the process a lot easier too

I am only doing small 1-2g batches so we're talking about a dozen or so bottles. It's pretty quick, but yeah 5g batches are a bit more exhausting if you do bottle by bottle.

My French colleague brought this one with her to consume tonight. I'm always awed when I realize how little they pay in France for good wine.

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

I do 4 oz for a 5 gallon batch. So I'd say for smaller batches just scale down. Just my 2 cents.
