Fruit Juice as Priming Sugar?

kaj030201 · Feb 25, 2009

Has anyone used fruit juice to prime/carbonate their bottled beer? I calculated that 40oz. (5 cups) of Trader Joe's 100% Black Raspberry juice would equal almost 6 useable oz of priming sugar- 34g per 8oz; 170g per 40oz; 170g = 5.99oz

will all 6oz be fermentable?

should i boil first?

thanks!

It can be done, but the math can be tough and misleading. I'd rather add the fruit juice in the secondary, then prime normally.
