Okay I do my brews in 12oz and 22oz...Someone told me a 22oz bottle takes longer to carbonate and I refused to believe them.
Here is my philosophy. I add a set amount of priming sugar to the carboy before bottling which gets distributed evenly throughout all the bottles, whether it is a 12 or 22. If you do it with this method then there is the same ratio of sugar to beer in a 12 and 22...hopefully you are following me.
Now, if you add a set amount of priming sugar on a per bottle basis (i.e. put 1/8 tps per bottle for both 22 and 12). Then I can see were a 22 would take longer because you have a more beer to sugar ratio then a 12oz bottle. This case is the only way that I can find it feasible for a 22 oz bottle to take longer to carbonate.
Now I could be completely wrong about this, but this was just my thought process on the subject. Please correct me if I am wrong.
