The recipe called for one week in primary, two weeks in secondary (one week at 50*, one week at 35*). The beer has completed one week in primary, and a few days on gelatin at 62* (can’t go any lower). I read somewhere that the beer should get the gelatin for 5-7 days prior to bottling. I do plan on traditional Belgian bottling in 750ml with mushroom cork and wire hood.
How should I proceed? I’m considering completing a week in secondary, then priming to 3.0 volumes and bottling in the described manner. I don’t want bottle bombs, but I do want a nice champagne-like pop when I open a bottle. The amount of corn sugar I am planning on is 5.5 oz. However, that measurement was designed for 5 gallons, I know I have less than 5 gallons left (how much less is probably 1 or 2 quarts).
Thanks again for the attention to my first foray into home brewing, gentlemen. I do appreciate the advice.
