cubbies said:When I bottled, I only used DME and every beer I ever made carbed. Now, Evan! mentioned Laaglander, and he is correct, many people have complained about it's fermentability which can lead to low or no carb. However, just because I used DME successfully, does not mean that it is the best method. I always have DME on hand, so it is what I use. Dextrose would probably be the next best method. A lot of HBS will have their own mixture of priming sugar as well; I believe Austin Homebrew does this.
