my understanding is Krausening is an old German method to prime beer,i think it was due to the German brewing laws ie water, barley and hops only. Actively fermenting wort of the same recipe in high krausen is added at a ratio of 5 to 20% to a fully fermented batch instead of sugar to prime.you can bottle or keg.I've bottled with 7.5% and 10% for comparison

 

[nidge]

If anyone's interested in the results from this little experiment i will post my findings,after 3days the 2 bottles primed with fresh wort have regained shape and firmed up were as the sugar bottle is still compressed (after squeezing air out at bottling stage)

I was just saying to SWMBO that I hadn't been online on the brew forum for ages, and then I realised its December, and that means one thing..... so here I am.

If its not too late, can you put me down for two bottles please?

Many thanks
I love Secret Santa

 

[Alastair70]

Not too late, and I’ve a lot on tomorrow. Swaps won’t be done until Sunday so any stragglers can still find a place this year.
