Carbing With Coopers

[JNOYES88]

I've never used carb tablets before. However, I'm currently a week into fermenting an IPA (of sorts) and when it is time to bottle, I want to cut down as much time on carbing in bottles as fast as possible and consume the beer while it is young and hoppy.

The instructions on the Coopers Carb Tabs say 1 tab for 12oz bottle of beer, 2 tabs for 22oz beer bottles, but all i gots is 32oz swing top bottles!

My gut tells me use 2.5 - 3 tabs per bottle but I would appreciate some jedi master brewing expertise!

All comments and experience appreciated.
Please and Thank You to everyone

3 tabs would be fine....

The cooper's 740ml PET bottles are 25.16oz. And they take 2 drops each. So I'd have to say 32oz would indeed be 2.5 carb drops each. Better still,get a bottling bucket & some dextrose & bulk prime to style. Use this priming calculator to get the amount of priming sugar; http://http://www.tastybrew.com/calculators/priming.html
You can alter the number in the "volumes of co2" box to get the carbonation you want within the range posted to the right of the style. Dissolve it in 2C of boiled & cooled water. Then pour it into the bucket,& rack the beer onto it. Then it would be pre-primed & not matter what size the bottle is.
