Hello,

I was wondering, which is better priming sugar or tabs? Besides de price is it worth it?
 
Well carbonation tabs are convenient forsome people but basicly they are no more than sugar just in a different presentation. If you keg they can be a good option if you have beer left after filling a cornie. I prefer dilute a priming solution in the finish beer and bottle.
Carbonation tabs (like coopers) can take a little longer to carb a beer too. And corn sugar or simple table sugar are way cheaper.
Make sure to use a calculator por for your priming sugar and account for your fermentation temperature.
