Hi everyone.
After doing various batches of all grain brewing and fermenting in bottles I'm still not sure what is the best type of sugar for carbonation?
I've tried normal caster (white) sugar and dextrose brewing sugar. Someone mentioned corn sugar but here in Spain I can't seem to locate it.
I've had mixed results with both and still not happy with my process. What do the Micro breweries use? Caster sugar or dextrose brewing sugar?
My room temp for the bottles (second fermentation) is a fixed 22 degrees Celsius. I normally leave them for 1-1.5 months. Bottles are well sanitised but the carbonisation seems to vary each bottle. I've even had a few duds. No gas at all.
Any suggestion most appreciated as I'm trying to perfect the process to move to the next level and create a nano brewery.
Thanks,
Rob
