So many places I've read online (including that handy priming calculator) say that to achieve 2.4 I'd want to ad around 140g of dextrose, sometimes less.
My fear:
There are two homebrew shops where I live. One sells baggies of dextrose with their kits that weighs 250g and is for a 5gal batch. The other sells bulk dextrose with instructions saying 200g for 5gal batch.
Both of these numbers seem so high in comparison to what I'm reading online but, in my experience, the 250g baggies seem to create a good result.
Except my last batch, to which I added around 225mL of dextrose and have around 40 geysers (should I gas them off (grolsch bottles)).
I'm really happy with the beer and it is for a competition so I really don't want to flub the carbs...
Which dextrose dosage do I follow?
I am quaking.
