Hi,
I've just started my 2nd kit, this one is the Youngs IPA, and it's fermenting nicely at the moment. It's a while away from bottling yet but i've a couple of basic priming sugar questions.
My 1st kit was the Coopers English Bitter that has worked well and tastes pretty good even though it's still quite young and that had the standard carbonation drops that have produced the prefect carbonation after I used 1 drop per 500ml bottle.
The Youngs kit comes with a pack of 140g Priming Sugar, very fine texture, almost like flour. On the instructions it just says 'If bottling syphon beer into another vessel and then dissolve all the sugar into it. Once dissolved syphon into bottles'.
However I want to go from my fermenter straight into the bottles like I did with the Coopers kit so i've no idea how much Priming Sugar needs to be put individually into each bottle.
Also, is this sugar better for this specific kit rather than the carbonation drops, will they change the taste in any way or is priming sugar the same as the drops but just in another form ??
Just as I think i'm getting on top of this brewing game another few questions seem to surface :thumb:
Cheers all,
Stroll.
