does blueberry extract carbonate my bottle?

[Pdaigle]

I want to do a blueberry pale ale and Im wondering if the extract will carbonate in the bottle. I don't want to over carbonate bottles.

Cheers all!

With yeast, residual sugar and capped well they will carbonate.

By itself, probably not.

If the extract has sugar in it then yes it would with yeast create carbonation

My main worry is if it does have sugar, that it will be a little tricky to calculate the carbonation level and how much more sugar you'll need to reach appropriate levels. Most extracts I've seen are pretty well sugar free, which for this, is a good thing.

The label should list the amount of sugar (if any) per serving ... Should be straight forward to figure out the total amount of sugar in the the amount of extract you want to use, then deduct that amount from your priming sugar...

As long as you account for the change in volume.

Then again, I'm probably overthinking this, as the change in volume would be negligible from extract. At first I had been thinking about using juice to carbonate, which can make things a little more tricky.
