I want to try carbonating my double IPA using the kräusening method. Unfortunately, Kai's instructions are not detailed enough (surprisingly!). So I still have a few questions that I hope someone here can help answer:
Thanks in advance for your input!
- Oxygen in wort - I added some oxygen to the wort I set aside for the kräusen. I need to start fermentation quickly so I hope that's OK.
- How much yeast? I have about 30 mL of slurry that I harvested from the primary fermenter.
- It says to wait for the fermentation to start and then add to the beer before bottling. How far into the fermentation do I have to wait before I can mix the kräusen beer with the fermented beer? Hopefully the oxygen in the kräusen is gone by then.
Thanks in advance for your input!
