All,
I didn't see this in a 20 minute scan of the FAQ's, pardon me if I'm posting a redundant question.
The Wife bought me a Cooper's kit and a Crosby IPA. The Cooper's metric, and the Crosby is US Customary, but I have all of that figured out (24-25 740 mL bottles per 5 gallons) except...
Crosby has 5 ounces of priming sugar, and the Cooper's kit doesn't have a bottling bucket. Cooper's gives the sugar tablets to put in the bottle before, but the weights don't work out (4 grams of sugar per pellet per 740 mL bottle, where it needs 5.5 g/bottle).
Is it okay to mix down the 5 ounces of sugar with 200 mL of hot water, add water to make it 250 mL, and then add 10 mL of sugar water to each bottle as I go? Any ways I can screw this up?
Also, I'm not sure if it's fermenting right, I added the yeast a little too soon (the temperature was 33 o Celsius, or about 92 oF), and it cooled down to 22 oC. However, I will be patient re 90% of the advice on this board, and I will not send it to anyone.
Thanks for any comments.
