Sorry to nitpick but did you mean to say "ultra-gay avatar"?

Just my experience.

Thanks for the tip. Should I add the yeast right before bottling?

Brian

And thanks again Harry!

Man, look what I started on my 3rd post

Hey Brian, could I (we) have a look at that recipe? I love Rochefort 10

And welcome to HBC.

Oh - and yes, add the yeast at bottling.

I bottled this a week ago, had to try one tonight. Very strong, very little carbonstion, but not bad! Will report back in a week. I always try my beers a week after bottling, I know it's too early but WTF.
Cheers,
Brian

Nice. I usually try a brew at about day 4 then leave it alone for while after that. This is a brew that will only get better with age as it mellows. Are you planning a side by side comparison sometime down the road?

.....and thanks for sharing the recipe!!

I'm wondering if this beer would do well on tap. If it is more difficult to bottle, wouldn't force carbing it yield better results. Plus, it can always be bottled from the keg later. I'm going to bottle mine next weekend, one way or the other.

Flyin' Lion · 12-27-2009, 01:28 AM

Probably the best thing to do Brian. I added yeast to mine right before bottling and it still has not carb'd up decently yet.
