So I have been brewing for a couple of months now and usually don't need to bottle any beer as I am brewing Belgian Ale's but this go around I brewed a nice Winter Stout and want to age the beer for a couple of months. Its been sitting in a keg for about 16 days and the carbonation is perfect. Would you all recommend I add .25% of the regular amount of priming sugar and bottle the 50 beers or just throw it in the bottles as is and hope the carbonation is still G2G around Xmas time?
So the .25% would be right around 1oz of priming sugar to 3/4 cup of water and just add a little in each bottle just before racking the beer from the keg?
Thoughts?
Reason I am asking is I bottled one 6 pack of some Belgian ale to give to my Dad, let it sit for about 4 weeks and opened it.....the beer was flat as hell.
