Questions about adding yeast fro bottle conditioning/carbonation.
The brew had a OG of 1.101 and finished up at 1.018 which was in the ballpark of what I expected (using WY1762 and adding simple sugars and belgian candi syrup through primary), however had a problem with a small tear in my BIAB bag and this allowed a small but not insignificant amount of grain into the boil.
So I have to main issues firstly to try and minimize the amount of tannin in the brew (looking to use polyclar) and second looking to add some yeast at bottling as I think the current batch would have been spent (brew has spent a long time at fermenting temps and and a fair while at lagering temps), not sure if it make any difference but I am bottling in 750ml belgian bottles with plastic corks and cages.
I have no idea when to add the polyclar in this situation and how to add the yeast (and how much) for bottling, for the record the fermenting vessel is a cube and I dont have/use a bottling bucket as I normally keg or just bottle straight from the fermenter and use carb drops.
