I am making an American Wheat beer (5 gal), and will be adding flavoring through a homemade extract. The extract is 1 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1oz salted butter, and roughly a pound of blueberries, 125 ml of Everclear, and 125 ml of water, similar to Ryans Brewing fat washing. Basically a blueberry cream cheese frosting.
My dilemma is this: I want to make sure this is carbonated, but dont want any bottle bombs. Since I have already added a 1/2 cup of sugar to this extract, but dont know how much will get removed when I filter, should I go ahead and add another 1/2 cup of sugar for carbonation, or just an 1/8 of a cup?
The extract smells amazing, so I want to make sure this works. Any help would be appreciated.
