Hi Guys, I've seen this brought up, but haven't been able to find any specifics. If there is a thread that covers it directly that I missed, please share the link....
I've got a Christmas Ale going that I wanted to add Jack D. to for a hint of flavor and warm alcohol. Without the J.D., the brew should end up around 8 to 8.5% ABV. Yeast is Nottingham.
The Questions:
1. How much J.D. can/should I add to a 6 gallon batch to make a subtle, but notable (not overpowering) addition to the flavor profile.
2. I am kegging part of the batch and bottling / Aging part. I am concerned that I will inhibit fermentation when bottle conditioning/ carbonating w/ priming sugar. Does that affect the answer to #1.
Thanks!
