Any one try these? I have 5 gallons of barley wine sitting in a keg I brewed last march in my basement. I want to bottle and was gong to rack into another corny keg and dose with priming sugar and go from there but it sure would be easy to just bottle right off the keg.
Search is you friend. Noob. https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=20978
[emoji6] had to do it. You being a moderator makes it funny.
Me banning you will make it even funnier.

Now that’s funny. LOL
What, no “This topic has been moved: Duplicate”?
I haven’t used them but the description says they also include yeast. If you’re looking for a truly one-step priming solution, that’s kind of cool.
At least he didn’t post it in All-Grain… 
Both good jabs
Tough crowd. 
It’s also funny (to me at least) that the linked thread asks the same question but has been hijacked by the third post. ;D
Short answer: I don’t think anyone has tried them.

I planted the seed that started the hijack with my Northern Brewer review skepticism. I did try to steer it back on topic.
LOL. I’m getting a kick out of this. Easily amused I guess. LOL
I’m new to this forum but have been on NB for a bit and haven’t heard much good about prime dose. No personal experience, but here is one of the recent threads I looked at. Chunks of capsule that won’t dissolve would disappoint! http://forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=123418
Thanks for the info, and welcome.
I guess you could pull apart the capsule and drop the contents in. But at that point, you might as well just mix a packet of dry yeast with some sugar and drop a half teaspoon in each bottle for a tenth of the price.
Well crap. I was hoping they would work well. Thanks very much for the input. I was thinking about buying them today.
I’ve wasted money on things before, but I really hate wasting time and effort. Although I haven’t used PD personally, given what I’ve heard I wouldn’t risk an 8 month old barley wine to it.
They worked for me on a few beers that had enough excess beer in the primary to justify putting it into a growler or grumbler. They are made of merely sugar and CBC yeast, IIRC, but they are handy for this purpose. I had used them first on a Flanders Red that had aged out in secondary and felt that priming alone would not get the job done - well neither did the Prime Dose - I entered the few bottles in 2 comps and all were flat (I kegged the rest a few weeks later and it was great). Then the mod at NB blocked my negative review, because they had not tested the stuff on sours and he felt that the acidic nature of the Flanders prevented the product from working. I didn’t take it further, but have had no problems with the product in all other applications, including an aged Barleywine that didn’t carb up with regular priming.
Blocked your review? That’s garbage.
This is not the first time I’ve heard of NB blocking negative reviews.
I am presently enjoying the Barleywine to make sure it carbed up fine - it did! Once you buy a bottle, you kinda find a way to use them and they are convenient. So being blocked is bogus, but I like NB’s service otherwise.
