Beer carbing

GeorgiaMead · Oct 27, 2013

I am new to brewing beer, I don't have a scale or carb drops... Is there a way I can carb my beer I don't have a keg setup just bottles... I would rather not spend extra money since are tight... Any suggestions?

You can always measure corn sugar out in the cups to bottle ferment. Just use an appropriate calculator. I think northern brewer has one...

I do one gallon batches and do .5 teaspoon per bottle. Just multiply by how many bottles you got convert to cups. Rough estimate. Might work.

Can I assume you at least have a bottling Bucket?

You can use this calculator:http://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/ and use regular table sugar-sucrose to bulk prime.

Honestly, I understand cash but if you can't properly package your beer then what are you really saving?

Yeah normally cash isn't a prob. Due to unforeseen circumstances I can't really do anything about I must take a break to recover from a financial hit I took... And I'm just wanting to carb this beer and after a month or two I'll be back brewing just don't wanna have to buy anything unnecessary right now the wife my kill me if I do

Do you have a bottling bucket? If not I can show you how to do it on the cheap.

For 1 gallon I used 2 tbs... For a 1.5 gallon I used 3tbs hopefully it will work just fine...
