Fermentation Through Bottling Lime Ale Beer Recipe

Transfer the wort into the primary fermenting vessel, then top off with cold water to 5 gallons.

Aerate the wort at this point. This can be accomplished with an aeration stone or simply by rocking the fermenter back and forth once the lid is in place.

This is the time that you will want to take a specific gravity reading. Use a hydrometer and record the reading. Your targeted gravity levels though temperature will affect so you just need within range.

Step 5

Once the wort is cooled to around 72° F, it is safe to pitch the yeast. Pitch according the proper procedures of the type of yeast you have.

• 1.0 pkg Dry English Ale (White Labs #WLP007)

Prepare a yeast starter by stirring the yeast into 2 cups of water then let mixture stand in cup for 15 minutes, make sure it is bubbling and then you will add it to your beer after the beer has cooled.

Clean the berries then crack open and add to the carboy.

Fermentation

Fermentation will last for for 4 days at suggested temp on package.

Make sure your carboy is around a third empty leaving space for frothing and foaming.

After primary fermentation rack into your secondary carboy and let sit for another 3 days.

The less exposure to oxygen the better it will taste so be careful when you rack.

Step 6

• 3/4 cup of sugar

Add priming honey before bottling.

Prime and bottle. When priming, dissolve corn sugar or dry malt extract in two pints of boiling water for 5 minutes.

Pour this mixture into the empty bottling bucket and siphon the beer from the fermenter over it.

This method ensures that the priming sugar will disperse evenly through your beer.

For proper carbonation, store your beer at 75° for at least the first week after bottling.

This will allow the yeast to feed on the priming sugar and produce the necessary carbon dioxide needed for carbonation.
