XB is def still available in bottles
indeed it is, in Morrisons Guiseley this very evening.
singletrackmind, where abouts are you?
I’ve racked it off the yeast cake into a clean FV, and I have a hopsock with a few bits of styrian goldings (bobek) & a sterilised shotglass sitting in the brew – I’m planning on leaving it 3 days & see where the gravity is then. if it falls below 1012 then I know it’s still fermenting & to leave it a bit longer.
Up to now I’ve been doing kit brews, and I batch prime half an hour before I bottle, results seem to be fine so far… is this still ok with all grain?
I use 1/2 tsp per 500ml bottle, there’s 17 litres in the FV so I reckon that’s 17 tsp or just shy of 6 tbsp of sugar into the vat half an hour before bottling. Most of the bottles are Theakstons anyway 😉
