Dear all,
I am going to bottle tomorrow an Irish Red Ale that I have just brewed. For the first time, I am going to use priming sugar (instead of carbonation drops). I am planing to use table sugar.
My question is: how much sugar should I add? Or in other words, how many CO2 volumes do I want?
In the book from which I took the recipe (Home Brew Beer, Greg Hughes), it says that for this style of beer I should go for a CO2 of 1.5 (meaning ~2.5 g of sugar/litre). But this sounds too low for me. I was thinking about 2.0 to 2.5 of CO2. Any idea about what is the best for this beer style?
Thank you!
Nuno
