Working on another Partial-Mash Kit that came with corn sugar to prime.
After reading different resources I found that I can save a small amount of wort
before I pitch the yeast and then prime the bottleing bucket with the fresh wort that I saved.
Can someone tell me if they have ever run into a problem with this procedure ?
Thanks FB

priming w/ wort
I have done that my last 5 batches. As long as the storage container is sanitized and you use the proper amount of wort it's great. My first batch was a little high in carbination, but that's because I used a little bit more than the formula had said to use. It really does make the beer taste better...

Formula for amount of Gyle
the formula for the amount of gyle to use is simple
quarts of gyle = (12 X Gallons of wort)/{(specific gravity - 1) X 1000}
so if you have 5 gallons of wort and a starting gravity of 1.060, it would be (12 X 5) / (1.060 - 1) X 1000
or 60/60 or 1 quart of gyle
if you use the balling scale, the formula would be as follows
quarts of gyle = 3 X gallons of wort / degrees balling.
It is important that the gyle be removed BEFORE the yeast is pitched and stored in a sterile container in the refrigerator.
Good luck!!!
