Hi all,
I have a Tooheys Draught (yeah yeah I know) that was sitting in the primary for 5 days at about 21C. I've moved it across to another fermenter to get it off the trub (is this called the secondary? :unsure: ), added some finnings and it's sitting around doing not much. Hydrometer Reading is 1010 and it's clearing up nicely.
So here's the crux of my question. I'm going to bulk prime (yes another rack) and I'm worried about carbonation, obviously this is like an Aussie beer, so I want carbonation, and lots of it.
But being that I racked it, I'm worried that I might loose some, in fact, a taste test now tells me it's less bubbly then it was in the primary. :unsure:
It's made 20Litres, does 200gms of fermantables for bulk priming sound ok? What would be the best to use LME? I want to have it for XMas so it's not going to mature at all. (It is a Tooheys after all)
Anyway, thanks in advance.

Oh it doesn't taste too bad atm either, a little rough but I intend on drinking a lot, very fast so taste doesn't matter too much. :super:
