Now here's a thought...

I was thinking about priming my bottles once my gallon test brew falls clear.

I could use spray malt or sugar, but if I were planning to thermos up another starter anyway, I could use wort from my thermos flask starter.

The question that somes to mind is... how much? :huh:

:blink:

i would sugest just using glucose. spray dried malt varies in sugar content between manufatures, so at least with a wort you know the starting gravity (although you could test the gravity of the spray malt by adding it to water), but i dont know of a calculation that would tell you the required gravity to give you a decent amount of carbination in the bottle.

moral of the story: dont post at ten to 4 on a sunday morning..... hangover ahoy!!

<_<

wheres the exit?
