I have this Golden Strong w/brett that has been aging for almost 2 years in cold conditioning. Time to bottle, I need to bottle condition them with some yeast.

How much yeast do I add for a 1 gal batch. I am looking for 3 vol of carb here. I wanted to batch prime this then bottle.

Thanks for the help.

Beer smith has a tool for figuring this out...if you are not using it I feel you are at a disadvantage...anyways...according to my calculations for 1 gal of beer at 3 vol. you should add just a bit of yeast (maybe 10-20 mL...thats a guess but probably close) and .83 oz of corn sugar

Hope this helps

Thanks bunch, I will use that amount for the sugar, and pretty much use small eyeball mount for the yeast.

Don't forget that it takes as much as 50% more priming sugar when the beer has been aging and not actively fermenting because the dissolved CO2 levels are very low
