I just brewed a batch of beer and just found out I don’t have enough carbonation drops to bottle all my beer. How much sugar should I put in each bottle in place of the carbonation drops? What type of sugar is best to use for this? I have a box of Coopers Brewing Sugar - a 90/10 blend of...

Thanks for the info, I think I might give the amber a try and see how it turns out.
