Bottle Conditioning a Flanders Red

Fri Mar 06, 2009 8:16 am

I bottled my Flanders Red last night but by the time i was finished I realized I forgot to repitch a little yeast with my DME for carbonation. Its already bottled so what do I do. I really want this to be ready for Nationals in a few weeks..

Will it carbonate anyway with the bugs in there? or

Should I pop the top on each bottle and add a squirt of yeast.

How long was it sitting before you bottled it?

How long was it in the Primary? Regardless, given enough time it should carbonate fine.

I dunno dude. I think the batch will carbonate over time, but if you want a bottle for nationals throw a couple grains of dry yeast in there and keep it warm. The rest I wouldn't screw with unless it's not carbonating after a month.
