As I have recently made a RIS and are about to minikeg and bottle would be interested what amount of priming sugar you will use

I have toyed with the idea of using molasses/brown sugar. But I'm going to stick with Dextrose.

Aiming for 2 volumes of CO2 so will prob get 22 litres in the bottling bucket and 115g of dextrose will get me to 2 vols of CO2.

I just use the Brewers Friend Calculator to work it out for me, works a treat.

Back from my hols today, so to cheer myself up cracked a bottle of the stout. Been three weeks in the bottle. Not bad. Is dry and bitter, but not astringent. Rich and malty with coffee and vanilla at the end. Lovely thick, long lasting creamy head. Pretty pleased with it.

Should mellow over time, I do think on first taste I'll dial back the chocolate malt next time though.
