Not my name but appropriate for some of my brews. 😅

Thanks for the info fellow casual extract brewer.

3/4 cup of what? Corn sugar or table?

I'll try the scale. I like the carbonation level in October fest listed at 2.5 so I'll try that when I'm ready to bottle. Thanks to all for the help.

You forgot shipping. 😆

Surfing the web i stumbled onto Northern brewer fast prime. It comes in what looks like a can of beer and says it's the equivalent of 5oz of priming sugar for 5 gallons of beer and yields 2.5 volumes of CO2. Anyone ever tried it?

I made Charlie Papazian's recommended Rocky Raccoons Crystal Honey Lager several years ago and it was great. Here's the recipe and directions. https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/rocky-raccoons-honey-lager/

When I weighed out 3.5 oz and it filled a 3/4 cup perfectly I was using corn sugar. When I verified the accuracy of my digital scale I used table sugar because corn sugar is too messy. Now I'm going to have to do it again because it doesn't seem like a 3/4 cup of table sugar is almost an ounce...

You may be right, I checked my records and see that one time I had 5.5 gallons of beer. Unfortunately I didn't record the end results so that may have been the low carbonation batch. I guess I'll just try the 3/4 cup method again and pay more attention to every detail, keep better records and...

I just weighed 3/4 cup of sugar on my digital mail scale 10 times and got 5.40 or 5.35 consistently but I run my wife's leveling tool across the top of the cup not "eyeballing" as mentioned. I can't believe that 5/100 of an ounce can make any difference in 5 gallons of beer.

And what "style" of beer am I brewing with the recipe I mentioned?

How long should I wait to bottle after there is no visible signs of fermentation? One of the beer sights said 3.5 oz of corn sugar equals 3/4 cup so I weighed out 3.5 oz on our digital mail scale and it was exactly 3/4 of a cup. But when I saw other sights suggesting 4 to 5 oz I came here for...

I appreciate all the suggestions but I'm still a little confused so a little info about my brewing skills. I've dabbled with numerous canned malt varieties for at least 40 years, never did a full grain brew. In that amount of time I probably only brewed about 20 batches and only when the mood...

I'm trying to figure out how many ounces of corn sugar to use for bottling 5 gallons of beer. I've read that 3/4 of a cup is the standard, but I also read that measuring with a scale is a better option. But there doesn't seem to be any agreement in how many ounces are in a 3/4 cup. From Brew...

Thanks Sammy86
