Bottle Conditioning a wheat beer
Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2011 1:16 pm
A couple questions for the more experienced wheat beer brewers here.
I know the recommended method for priming wheat beer is to use some krausen from a fresh batch, but since I don't have that am I okay with using my regular dextrose for priming? I used the WB-06 dry yeast for a 2 week primary, and am not planning on any secondary conditioning before bottling.
Should I get another packet of the WB-06 and make up some starter to use?
Also how many volumes of CO2 do you aim for in a bottle conditioned wheat?
