Hi, I'm just getting back into brewing after a 10-15 yr gap! I'd appreciate feedback on my proposed method.
I'm planning to make a kit beer soon and want to bottle it due to space issues. Notes I've found from past brews mention conditioning in a barrel with priming syrup (releasing gasses after 4 days, leaving for 3 weeks, then releasing gasses again 2 days prior to bottling). Once bottled, leave for 1 week before drinking (I have no mention of priming the bottles here so not sure what I used to do).
Does this sound reasonable, or OTT?
Thanks, john
