I am in the process of making Northern Brewer's Chinook IPA. Well sort of, they removed the kit due to the shortage and I am just using Simcoe in place of Chinook to see what happens... Anywho...
I have about 1.5 cups of priming sugar left over from previous kits and would like to make a couple of six packs and dump the rest into a keg.
How much sugar per bottle should I use? I know it's generally 3/4 cup per 5 gallons if you bottle it all and less if you use a party pig. I'd like to just measure out a certain amount and drop it in the bottle.
I guess the alternative is to toss the sugar in the boil to add a little more food for the yeast and just get priming tabs, but that just seems like more money for no real good reason.
Cheers!
sidenote... hrmm I think my celebration and haznelnut clones are a bit more abv than I thought. 2 of them and I am feeling it. I still have a glass of Glenfiddich waiting for me!
