Hey all,
Just wanted to say thanks for all the great information on this forum. I have been drinking my first brew, an irish red, and i'm very pleased! It's almost gone sadly
Now for my question. I just bottled my second batch yesterday. This time around i primed with table sugar. I researched and found that 1/2 to 2/3 is fine. I went ahead and used between 2/4 and 3/4. This morning i went and found a calculator, which i should have done yesterday, and it says for my style of beer i should have only use .53 of a cup.
My main question is how much sugar does it take for bottle bombs? Also will that much sugar i used just make it slighly more carbonated and still tasty?
This second batch was a canadian blonde from coopers. Just for info the last batch was primed with a premade bag from my local homebrew shop, might have been corn sugar. It was too expensive to buy their $5 bag everytime.
Thanks
