Has anyone ever used Claey's Lemon Drops (or any other brand) to carbonate their beer and give a slight lemon flavor to it?
A Brewer's Best pack of carbonation drops is 256g and comes with 54 tablets. Thats about 4.74g each.
A Coopers pack of carbonation drops is 250g and comes with 80 tablets. Thats about 3.125g each.
Northern Brewer Fizz drops are 8oz (227g) and comes with 60 tablets. Thats about 3.78g each.
The way I see it, a 6oz (170g) bag of Claey's with 36 tablets are 4.72g each. It seems this might be on the higher side, up there with Brewer's Best. I don't know if these are close enough to the same for it to work or not. Honestly, I've never used carbonation tablets, I usually just mix in priming sugar before bottling, so I don't know how well carbonation tablets work to begin with.
Also do you think this would give too strong of a lemon flavor?
If no one has any insight on this, I may just try a couple bottles in a couple weeks when I bottle my Pale Ale that I started this weekend.
