I bottled my first batch last night and using the calculator on TastyBrews it said I should use 6.5oz of DME for a 5gallon batch at 68deg.
Well after weighing out 6.5oz of DME on my scale it seemed to be quite abit more than the 5oz of Corn sugar I had prepackaged with my kit. Is that normal?
I just want to make sure that I don't have some 22oz bottle bombs!
Also the 6.5oz should get me to 2.3 Vol @ 68deg for a Robust Porter which is 1.8-2.5Vols.
Was my thinking correct in this or am I way off base?
