Priming before the fermentation stops
Priming before the fermentation stops
Hi, at the moment I'm doing some raspberryade and It's almost finished (bubbles every 5 sec).
I was wondering if I can bottle it now (1020) without adding any more sugar for priming. I'd that ok, or do I need to what till it's dry and after that prime it?
I'm ok with the strength - I think -
Thank you for your time

Re: Priming before the fermentation stops
Do you have any idea what your final gravity will be? If you are not really carefull this kind of thing can lead to bottle bombs.came2meca wrote:Hi, at the moment I'm doing some raspberryade and It's almost finished (bubbles every 5 sec).

Which are okay for ex-inlaws and such, but not for normal people.
I'm just here for the beer.
Re: Priming before the fermentation stops
Agree with rookie those bottles are going to be extremely viable devices. It would be much safer to let the fermentation continue to your expected final gravity and then prime. I did this sort of thing a few years ago and gave bottles to friends who put them in the garage where the dog slept. The bottles all popped one night and the dog went berserk!
Re: Priming before the fermentation stops
Being new at this stuff I have no idea what the FG should be. Let's say that it should ferment dry, can I bottle it around 1010-1015 or just wait a bit more and prime it?

1 bottle Malina raspberry syrup
550g sugar
1l apple juice (lidl stuff)
1tsp yeast
1tsp yeast nutrient

Re: Priming before the fermentation stops
This sort of recipe is likely to ferment right down nearly to 1.000. It would be safer to keep on fermenting until you get a steady hydrometer reading for 24 hours and then prime.

Re: Priming before the fermentation stops
trucker I don't know how I missed your topic, but it's exactly what I needed.
I was thining about campden tablets after priming.
I'm going to try different techniques, but i think that the one for me will be pasteurise in hot water for 10 min.
Thanks again for all your replies.
