The Rocket was primed and bottled (well - most of it was force carbed in a corny, but I normally get 6-8 bottles over and above each corny of beer).leedsbrew wrote:Out of interest, did you prime and bottle the riwaka rocket or force carbonate and bottle from the keg? I'm asking as I planned on carbonating my RIS then bottlig from the corni,Then age for a year, but was wondering if it would be better for the flavour to re-inoculate with say nottingham and bottle condition?
However, I find myself in the same predicament as I have several cornies of high strength beers that I'm just not drinking fast enough, so I should probably bottle them from the cornies and stick them away to free up the cornies. BUT - I'll wear my heart on my sleeve here and say that i think bottle conditioned beers will age better than force carbed ones, although they may not have the same max shelf life as there could be issues with yeast autolysis.
