Default Coopers Carbonation Drops in 1 Liter Growler

Any idea how many drops I should use? I have a bunch of bottles and two 1 Liter Growlers that I'd like to fill.

Thanks!

Murdoch the noob

I don't know how well those growlers are going to hold carbonation. Also, there is about 33 oz in 1 L so that would be 33/12. So a little over 2.5. I don't think I would mess with that. Just put them all in bottles.

Just use priming sugar at a rate of 1 oz per gallon then bottle...that way you don't get uneven carbonation.

Also, I don't know if you can carb in a growler or not, but if you do, it should be about the same as 2.5 12 oz bottles...Be sure it's really a 1 ltr bottle, or you'll end up with under carbed beer if it's a 1/2 gallon.

**Edit
Beat to the punch!

I guess it's not really a growler, more of a Grolsch type bottle. Does that make a difference?

And I'm sure it's one liter.
