G'day.
I have just got myself a filter, and have used it for the first time this weekend with great results.
I am going to do some bottling tomorrow, and plan to filter it, and then add some fresh yeast. My main aim in doing this is to avoid the yeast cake at the bottomw of the bottle, which anooys me. I want to be able to drink the beer from the bottle if necessary, and not get large quantites of yeast in the last few mouthfuls. I also want to choose a yeast that is suitbale for bottling that will keep for a while.
Questions...
1. What would be the correct dosage of dry ale yeast, in say grams of yeast per litre of beer to be bottled, to achieved adequate carbonation, but not get the yeast cake?
2. Which yeasts, preferably dry yeasts, are good for this purpose, in terms of speed of carbonation, shelf life, and I would also like on that doesnt inpart much flavour to the beer.
3. Have any of you guys done this. If so how did it go?
Thanks
Pip
