Greetings,
A couple of nights ago I was bottling up a Honey Ginger Lager and found a package of priming sugar that had come with a beer kit that I got for Christmas. I have always used 3/4 cup of priming sugar which is what I measured out of the package. The package was labeled as having 5oz of sugar which I assume was ounces of weight not fluid ounces which I understand are ounces by volume.
When I measured out 3/4 cup of sugar I still had approximately 1/4 cup still in the bag. I am pretty sure the kit indicated to use the entire bag which would be more priming sugar than I am used to using. I have always been a little leary of using too much sugar to avoide bottle bombs.
What's the deal here?
