Hello,
Been awhile since I posted on here and wanted some advice before trying something new. I've been pretty happy over the last few years with my creations, but hey, let's experiment!
Anyways, I generally ferment dry and then after letting settle in secondary, bottle and use priming sugar tablets to help carbonate. I was thinking for at least a few gallons of a batch of cider I have in secondary right now of adding raspberry juice concentrate or raspberry powder concentrate instead of priming sugar to add a little different flavor as well as help carbonate. I just want to check my math about how much to add so I don't create bottle bombs. Generally 1oz/30g of primary sugar is fine for each gallon of cider. So if I was to add enough raspberry concentrate to equal 30g of sugar per gallon, would I create the same amount of carbonation? Not sure if it would have the same effect or not. Just don't want them to explode a few weeks later.
Thank you for all the help,
Colin
