reseeding bright beer is done extensively throughout the bottle conditioned side of the industry theres even specialist yeasts for ithttp://www.danstaryeast.com/products/cb ... beer-yeast its got a fair old alcohol tolerance (12-14%) im not sure if you can get this in sensible amounts though

personally i just bottle with a few points left and a little batch priming('bout .9g per 500ml bottle)ie i transfer from my fv to my bottling tank and into my bottles. this approach will only really work with a good chilling solution

Thanks for that Critch :D Exactly what I was looking for!!!

Yep I know its done extensively throughout the industry however up till now iv'e seen so many different home brew posts suggesting different amounts of yeast #-o

So, the data sheet recommends 10g per H/L rehydrated in sterilised water or a 2% priming sugar solution for abv >9% If my maths serves me well that equates to 2.3g per 23ltr

Not sure where we as home brewers could buy an 11g sachet of this though :-k

I too am interested in trying this with a brew and recently discovered this yeast at The Home Brew Shop in Aldershot.

I haven't used it yet but I am tempted to try it in something... :-k

Cheers for that Darthballs. Gonna give this a go I think.

As I said in my previous post, bottle conditioning of "bright" beer with a secondary strain is no doubt debated in the forums but certainly I hadn't seen anyone one quoting chapter and verse with a link to a data sheet till Critch's post that is. Top man he is!
