So i have a DIPA (Smells great) problem is it about 10% and it seems the SO4 could'nt cope. I prime the bottles with Carbo drops originally I tried re-pitching a so4 slurry but still no joy. I've read the beers this high need time and id be fine with that but the IPA comp is the end of the month so needs must. Today i got some champagne yeast and i did a small slurry and added it to 4 bottles. Im hoping it should do the trick with out messing up the flavor. My one concern would be that it would make it to dry. i will keep ya posted.
I bottled my DIPA this weekend too and I feel like shouting at it "Hurry up and Carb you bolloxes"
But anyway, there's no point in you submitting yours because mine is the gold winner! ;D
Feel sorry for the Judges.....they'll have to stay on the DIPA's after the comp because everything else will taste like piss
Mine is conditioning, but slowly, which is to be expected. I only hope that it's just slow, and not crapped out! I do have some kegged, so could always beergun some. I might actually beergun the whole keg, as might be too dangerous on tap!
Similarly, there's no point in you entering yours Taf. It's a waste of time because mine is going to win the category. It's made of dreams and unicorn hair.

Ha, how about a bottle swap tomorrow night? Or at least a small sample. The kegged portion should be carbed at this stage.
mine will be flat as a pancake still but sure I'll bring one over :)
still no joy araghhhhhhh seriously pissed off. Any ideas please?
Heat a few bottles up a bit?
yeah done that still zero activity
For how long?
2 days
Jees, hopefully the champagne yeast does the trick
Moment of genius........
