How much candi sugar should I use to prime my 5 gallons of tripel? it's potential SG is 1.045/6ish.
mrkristofo said:Ok, hold up there for a second. Make sure the amount you prime with since the fermentability is different than dextrose.
For Example, for a Belgian ale, say you want 2vol CO2 in the bottle, and you have a fermentation temp at 70˚F:
you'd add 0.68oz/gal of Dextrose or 0.59oz/gal of Sucrose.
I only point this out, because I've made bottle bombs without making this adjustment before.

I used a dextrose & table sugar combo on my last strong ale that netted some over the top carb.

Let us know how this turns out, ok? I'd like to give it a try.
