What are you drinking now?

Good point. +1. These carb drops suck..too much carb. That's about what I did in the past and worked great.

1/2tsp table sugar per 12oz. It's perfect

Agreed they suck, always over carbed unless you drink it all in the first month. I bottle all my batches (5g) and have only had 1 batch blow (due to not letting cherries ferment out) and always use that calculator for about 30 batches now. Make the priming solution, add to bottling bucket, rack beer, bottle

@orionol73 good to know...first time putting fresh yeast so was clueless to the sugar side of the calculation. Also it is hard to get 3-5 grains of yeast!

I don’t think amount of yeast should matter, but champagne yeast may be a different deal. Plus always used existing yeast in solution. Sugar should be he determining factor. Worst has been a RIS that sat in secondary for 2 months before bottling that never carbed up right...maybe will?

This sour has no residual yeast, so if I just added sugar it would never carb. That's the issue

Just trying to quantify my experience so you can apply to what you’re doing, not saying it’s the rule batch priming makes the process a lot easier too

I am only doing small 1-2g batches so we're talking about a dozen or so bottles. It's pretty quick, but yeah 5g batches are a bit more exhausting if you do bottle by bottle.

My French colleague brought this one with her to consume tonight. I'm always awed when I realize how little they pay in France for good wine.

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

I do 4 oz for a 5 gallon batch. So I'd say for smaller batches just scale down. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for this, I may try it on my next batch.

Wilfred Zaha loves this beer I’m having in real life, in real-time. Cheers.

Today I am drinking my attempt at a cherry red ale (I say attempt as it would appear my barrel has finally caught the brett/lacto that’s been fermenting in nearby vessels)

However I am thoroughly enjoying this incredibly complex beer. Starting with a sour, rubbery first taste soon replaced by sour cherries then as it warms a little, the rye and floral notes from the tettnangs,and finally back to a sour cherry, woody, spicy dry finish.

(Not to mention it is still young so expecting the rubber to fade)

Some dude got married and sent me home brew. I like that trade-off. Thanks @jerbrew. Love this!

I've heard good stuff about Cape May's beers. A buddy of mine did a trade recently and got a few of their Coastal Evacuation DIPAs, haven't tried it myself.

I’ll try to grab some more of their stuff then. Ocean city is dry but just over the bridge is a packie. I’ll need to make another run tomorrow for sure

Swing over to Burley Oak in Berlin, MD if you haven’t already. If not it’s worth the trip!

Enjoy your time there!

This tasty HB SMASH PA from @pshankstar. I could drink this all day!

It's just 2-Row and Belma hops. Thanks for the kind words @Scturo! It looks like its carbonated just fine. Cheers!
