Bottled this batch today, adding a combination of Xylitol and carbonation drops in order to evaluate and get a feel for what we want to do with the two 25 litre buckets we collected today from the 25 September batch. FG came in at 0.998 (so no change in 2 weeks) and bottle numbers (release candidates) are as follows:
- No priming sugar, 5g Xylitol
- 1 Coopers carbonation drop (375 ml) and 5g Xylitol
- 2 Crafty Fox carbonation drops (500 ml) and 5g Xylitol
- No priming sugar, 10g Xylitol
- 1 Coopers carbonation drop (375 ml) and 10g Xylitol
- 2 Crafty Fox carbonation drops (500 ml) and 10g Xylitol
I’m storing these in a brown cardboard box in the server room at between 20 and 22 ℃ until they’re ready for conditioning.
