By the way I don’t have a keg, so I use priming sugars to bottle and create the carbonation. So I’m also curious if the stabilization tablets would prevent that from happening.

Alright, thank you for the information, it’s much appreciated. I actually just got a hydrometer in the mail today, before I was just winging it. I’m gonna watch some YouTube videos and figure out how to use it, and decide what to do form there. I’m in no rush to drink my beer, just want it to...
