I have recently started kegging my beer and I have a Baltic Porter ready to go but I want to put some of it in bottles. What is the best procedure?
I was thinking of either:
1. Trying to put a gallon in a bottling bucket and adding appropriate priming sugar to that and bottling from there.
2. Priming the whole 5 gallons sticking it all in the keg and filling the bottles from there.
Any and all input and suggestions welcome.
Also the Porter has been in the secondary a few weeks at 55F and is pretty clear. Should I add more yeast or will there still be enough in suspension to carbonate in the bottle? I am going to age the bottles for a few months so i am not worried if it takes a while to develop carbonation.
