Almo_022 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hi, I’m about to keg my first brew but want to bottle two bottles just to taste in a couple weeks time instead of tasting from the keg. I was wondering how much of the liquid hops and primer to add to a couple of bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could had the liquid hops to the Droid and leave to infuse for 24 hours and had 2 sugar drops to the large PET bottles. If using smaller glass bottles add 1. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to bottle half and keg half and that was the method I used to get the hops flavour in. If you are going to do two bottles, maybe have one at two weeks and one at 4...though 3 is still good to see if you can notice any difference in taste, the beer will keep improving as it matures.. What are you brewing? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi @Almo_022 On the phone app , press the button that says to Keg. This will bring it up to kegging temp, this is the same temp for hopping. Once it reaches temp. Add the liquid hops. Leave for 48 hours, again the droid will drop to store temp. Hit the kegging button, wait till it reaches temp. Keg and bottle. I do the same as Rob C , keg and bottle half. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
