Hiyall!
Today i made up a grand cru (kit form). A brewferm grand cru to be precise. I added my 500g of sugar, got the temperature to about right, added my yeasties and put the lid on. Easy enough!
(waiting 10 days however isnt going to be easy, let alone the 8-10 weeks ageing!!!)
Questions though are bugging me.....
after the 10 days, i put it into bottles via my bottler, adding one carbonation drop per bottle,yes?
Then effectively the second fermentation happens in the bottles, with the carbonation drop adding sugar to make it fizzy?
What temperature do i have to keep the bottles at? room temperature or can i put them in the (beer) fridge?
Sorry about the novice questions, but i've bought a little bottler, a second hand fv to put it onto, a load of bottles, caps, capper, drops and what have you, just didnt want to make 500ml hand grenades...!
