It comes out to 5.6g for 630ml. It's quite funny that sub-gram scales are allowed only with a chemist certificate in my country(EU-Cy). I guess i could use 6g or 5g but that would be harder and more time consuming. Maybe I wil try itl in the future though, just to see if its better.

Thank you all guys. I cannot easily measure individual amount for each bottle since I use 630ml Bottles, so im carbonating the whole wort. I'll go with the calculator's 101g (2.8-2.9 volumes) and let you know if we go boom boom hahah. Again thank you all, this community has never failed me.

And now, in their own FAQ (Mangrove Jacks) i find this. That would mean for 12L, 24 tsp. Which means 24x4,2g=101g of corn sugar. wtf

is that 1060?

How did you measure the gravity?

Yeah the MJ Manual as I stated is the same for all their pouches, not custom for each type of beer. Thats the problem, because it suggests I use the amount of priming sugar I would use for a Brittish Ale, in a Belgian Dubbel kit.

its a bit lower than that tbh(grams-wise) but yeah, still 3 times the recommended (by MJ's manual)

Wouldn't mind more input from more experienced brewers though. Just found out from northern brewers calculator, that Belgian Dubbel requires 3.0 volumes of Co2? that make the priming sugar for 12Lt at 18 C degrees need 100g of dextrose.. Im properly confused...

thanks!

No I mean their "Traditional series" "Craft series" etc. Mangrove Jack's

It's weird. If I choose British ales in the calculator, and the lowest co2 vol 1.5) it gives me the same amount of dextrose as the MJ manual suggests(30.6-8g). The MJ manual is the same for all beers of their series. Could it be the "safe" bet for universalizing their instructions?

if that were the case, wouldn't the calculator show less grams needed, than the MJ manual?

So, heres the scoop. I used Mangrove Jacks Dubbel Extract kit, it's almost ready to be bottled so, as it is written in their manual I should use 2 tsp of sugar per 2L. So for the whole 12L of wort I should use 12 tsp. Converting that to grams, accounting for the ingredient(dextrose(powdered...

So i start with the biggest one and finish with the smaller one? Get 3 readings aan then?

Hi guys, i'm a total newbie here so don't be rude :) I bought this :http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141702228773 and everything is in Chinese, i have no idea why there are 3 different hydrometers . does anyone have experience or knows how these work? Cheers!:mug:
