How many Belgian Style Bottles per 5 gal batch?

wedge421 · Nov 4, 2009

I currently have a Dubel brewing away and I dont want to keg it. The plan is to put it into Belgian style bottles. Anyone know how many of those I will need for a 5 gallon batch? I believe they are 750ml a piece. Also how would you guys reccomend priming the bottles? I usually force carb but I really dont want to do that with this beer as I want it to have a light carb like most Dubels do. Thanks in advance!

19000/750=25 1/3 bottles more or less.

As far as priming, Dubbels tend to be carbed to the high side so I would recommend around 3 volumes.

What do you mean by 3 volumes? For a 5 gallon batch how much priming sugar would you reccomend?

By weight you would want about 5-5.5 oz of corn sugar to get that volume.
