Bottling a Flanders Red

[Fishemulsion]

Ok, the year wait is over and my Flanders red is ready to be bottled. Can I just use corn sugar like any other beer or do I need to add some some yeast? or anything else I should consider??

I used this and just let the bugs carb it up. I wanted them to chew on something else besides just corn sugar...

I recommend bottling as usual to about 2.5 vol, but make sure to add a packet of rehydrated dry yeast to the bottom of the bucket along with your priming sugar. I say this only because your yeast are tired after spending a year working on that brew and it would really suck if you bottled it up only to find that the yeast couldn't finish the job and left you with flat beer in the bottle. Add some fresh yeast (US-05, S-04, or my favorite b/c it can handle low pH/acidity and high alcohol content - lalvin EC-1118 champagne yeast) and have peace of mind that your hard earned patience will pay off!
