  • You should have plenty of yeast still around for bottle conditioning your homebrew after one racking and adding some priming sugar. If you have any doubts about yeast health it never hurts to add more yeast before bottling.

  • Awesome video!! I'm a first time brewer and will be bottling my batch this coming Thursday.

  • @trutwijd I was really glad he mentioned this while you might not mind contaminating your own wine with your germs if you ever give any wine away as gifts it's nice to know your not giving your friends backwash.

  • I know it's bad but I've always started a siphon sucking on the tube - haven't spoiled a batch yet but I'm sure I'm just asking for trouble.... Nice vid.

  • thanks for the info, I do have a question though, if I syphon into a secondary carboy to let sit for a few weeks, will their still be enough living yeast in the beer to do the natural carbonation from surgur when I bottle it ? thanks...
