Fruit beer - bottle conditioning

Wed May 18, 2011 3:16 am

I have a fruit beer in the secondary. OG was 1.044 and was down to 1.011 when I added the large can of apricot puree. It's been sitting for about a week and fermentation picked up a bit but it was never vigourous. It has now stopped. Is there be enough yeast in solution in order to bottle condition? I can add a bit of dry yeast but how much is enough?

Cheers

There should be plenty of yeast in suspension to carb your beer :jnj

You will have enough yeast in suspension. If you ever want to add extra yeast(long primary/secondary or really strong beer), you can use a 1/4 of vial or 1/8-1/4 of a dry yeast pack.
