Up until now I've only used ingredient kits that came with pre-measured priming sugar. Now i'm following a recipe book that lists the amount of sugar to use in terms of cups.
the recipe I'm following now (Saison) says 1 cup corn sugar, which is weird because everything I've read up til now says to use 3/4 cup corn sugar.
Do I need to worry about creating bottle bombs if I go up to 1 cup? I've read other posts that says what really matters is weight... How can I find out how much weight to use if my recipe just says 3/4 cup?
I used this caluclator here, and it seems to say I should only use 3.5 ounces but that seems really light considering most of the kits I've used have had more that that I think: TastyBrew.com | Homebrewing Calculators | Botting Priming Calculator
Anyway, any guidelines?
