Hello,
I have an IPA (ABV 7.8 and 104 IBU) that has been aging with Brett Claussenii for about 3 months. I am going to bottle in the new year but would like some advice regarding how to carbonate. Would a priming sugar solution or a pinch of the original yeast be the way forward?
Cheers
Dan

Did you just use the B. C. or did you use a regular yeast first or with it?Peatbogbrewer wrote:Hello,

I've bottled lagers that were at 34f for three months that carbed fine without adding any more yeast: just my normal priming solution.
I'm just here for the beer.

I used an english ale yeast for primary fermentation and pitched BC in the secondary FV.

Re: carbonating aged beer in the bottle
Does anybody else have a view about this? Do I use a pinch of the original yeast or go with a priming solution? Don't want to mess this up, it tastes great without carbonation and will be supreme if done correctly.
