Hey folks,
A friend and I started brewing at the same time last year and while it stuck for me, he found himself not finding the time or gumption to keep it rolling. We brewed an extract porter in late January, 5 gallons worth. He racked 3 gallons of it into a carboy and bottled/drank the remainder. That three gallons has been sitting as-is since about February. He's a bit timid to taste it, so that will fall on me to judge if its even worth bottling or not. But if it is, I have a couple different open packets of dry yeast to carb it, and I'm wondering if it matters what I use? Ive got us05, s04, and some champagne yeast (yellow packet..blanc ?). How much of which yeast would kick off the carbonation?
Thanks!
