Hello HBT'ers,
I am trying to clone Matlida and used WLP570 (Belgian pale) for primary (OG=1.061). Started out at 68F and at end of day2, I started to to increase temp. Racked at day3 (SG=1.017) and temp was 78F on top of a vial of 650 (B.bruxxellensis). Currently, day 5, I am at 80F and plan to slowly increase to ~ 85F as per White Labs direction. Any idea of how long I should hold a this temp? I would like to bottle after about one month in secondary. Should there be sufficient viable yeast at that time to complete carbonation? Also, should I use my "normal" amount of priming sugar (dextrose)?
Thanks, Tom
