Hi all,
I made a brew of Amber ale a few weeks ago, put some of it in bottles and they are fine, about 60% of the brew went into a Hambleton Bard beersphere, that 3 gallon of beer has almost no carbonation. So my question is how do I re-carbonate this beer before transferring it to bottles and can I do it at this stage?
I was thinking of adding some sugar solution to the brew and then rebottling..... If I use standard granulated sugar dissolved in hot water how much sugar will I need and what amount of water to dissolve it in? Would appreciate any comments, thanks.
The original issue with the beersphere was the float assembly not keeping the take-off tube under the surface of the beer. When I took the top off to correct this I lost the carbonation I think. So I added some CO2 gas from a cylinder to keep the beer fresh...... Now I think it's best to bottle it, what are you're thoughts on this plan?
