'''Refermentation''', also known as bottle conditioning or bottle refermentation, can be an adverse side effect for opened wine, but many ] purposefully use refermentation to create greater complexity and aging ability in their brews. There are two types of refermentation: 100% refermentation and partial refermentation.
100% re-fermentation or ''bottle conditioning'' is when flat beer is bottled and all the carbonation comes from fermentation in the bottle, see ]. Partial re-fermentation, commonly referred to as ''bottle-conditioned'', involves adding artificial carbonation into a beer, then adding yeast and sugar into the bottle to add further carbonation during the second fermentation. Bottle-conditioned beers are only partially bottle-refermented. It is very rare to find 100% bottle-conditioning.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/100-bottle-re-fermented-beers.6784/|title=100% Bottle re-fermented beers|work=BeerAdvocate|accessdate=12 March 2016}}</ref>

Typically refermentation leaves ], in the bottle.

One benefit of refermentation is that it removes any oxygen in the bottle thus preserving its life and prevents spoiling. The yeast then naturally creates ] instead of artificially carbonating. Many professional beer tasters can tell the difference artificial and natural carbonation: Natural carbonation is more delicate and fine, rather than an aggressive and sharp one.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://definitionale.com/bottle-conditioning-and-re-fermentation-part-1-what-is-bottle-conditioning/#more-1945|title=» Blog Archive Bottle Conditioning and Re-Fermentation, Part 1: What is Bottle Conditioning »|publisher=|accessdate=12 March 2016}}</ref>
