I'm new to kegging as well, but this is what I did to measure the level of carbonation in my keg. The temperature of the beer combined with the pressure in the keg will tell you the level of carbonation. Look it up on the carbonation chart. After the keg has been sitting for several hours at a...

In the past I've used carbonation drops with good results in 12-oz bottles. I got a good level of carbonation, certainly nothing excessive. The drops I used were around 3.3 g each. The package says they are a mixture of sugar and corn sugar. For the last three batches I primed with a sugar...
