I've always primed my brews before bottling. Until now, however, they have been kit beers. Does the same apply for AG beers, or is there less/no need to prime?
I've searched around a bit and cant really see much in the way of info. Just trying to get some opinions.
Priming AG brew when bottling
Re: Priming AG brew when bottling
No difference between Kit and AG? Yeah, I guess so. I just thought maybe some long term fermentable sugar hung around more with an AG brew over a kit brew or something. I guess, based on your answer, I should prime in the normal way.Chris-x1 wrote:Technically it makes no difference, if the yeast has expended its supply of sugars then it will require a fresh supply of sugar to produce co2 for conditioning.

Re: Priming AG brew when bottling
FWIW,I bottle my AG ale between days 10-14. Regardless of the recipe I use 50-60g of priming sugar across 36 bottles and get very consistent,just-right carbonation from that.
