my cooper's draught is nearly ready to bottle, but not sure how many drops to put in each bottle. instructions say 1 in a 375ml bottle, or 2 in a 750ml bottle. I'm using 550ml/1pt bottles. will 1 be enough, or use 2?
 
I recently did this and used 1.5 drops per 500ml bottle. Yes I cut them in half! Depends how fizzy you like your beer I suppose. I'm defo a lager drinker so like it fizzy. Had a few of them and whilst it is defo fizzy I wouldn't complain if it was fizzier (is that a word?). How many times can I say fizzy in this post?

I just bottled a hammer of Thor and used 2 per 500ml bottle. Only danger I see is bottle bombs. Yikes!
 
hi pal, yeah i have done a few lager kits now and i used 1 and a half drops for my 500 to 565 ml bottles and they turned out great. bit fiddely cutting them in half but they did job very well
