Bottling (a bit squeaky bum to make it time for next week) a dark beer (wont give too much away as its for a comp) which finished out at 1016 with some liquid malt extract from a health shop. Would there be any benefits from re-pitching a bit of fresh yeast back in while bottling? If so, how much? Also cant find too much online about the quantity of lme to use, plenty on there about dme and other sugars but nothing on lme. Would 130g or so for 15litres sound about right?
Thanks in advance guys
130g will give you about 2.5vols I'd say? I'm basing it on this (http://www.homebrewdad.com/priming_sugar_calculator.php). It doesn't list lme but it does have a few other syrups so you can guesstimate.
You'll need to leave them somewhere very warm if they're to be carbbed by Saturday :-X
I don't think you need to repitch unless you suspect the yeast is fckd. Was the og very high?
Wicked that site is alot better than the http://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/ one, thanks very much Garry man.
Aiming for 2.3 ish and the OG was 1072
Went for molasses, no repitch and crossed fingers!
