Wonderwoman
Regular.
So I've come to the end of my fermentation (it's actually been almost 20 days of it sat in the bucket, but I've been too busy to bottle it) and this weekend I want to finally bottle it.
I've had a look at the priming sugar calculator at http://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/
but am a little bit unsure how much sugar to add. They keep warning about overpriming but with it being a wheat beer, I would have the highest CO2 volume anyway, so surely if anyone would run the risk of overpriming, it would be me. I was thinking to go for the golden middle of 4.0 volumes (they suggest wheat beer has between 3.3 and 4.5) but am now worried I would over do it.
I've got swing top bottles, if that makes a difference.
Oh and should I dilute the sugar in some water first then gently add it to the brew before bottling? How much water should I use for this?
