I am getting round to bottling a home brew version of Shepherds Neame - Spitfire.
The pre-bottling additions calls for:
1 cup, wheat DME
1/4 cup glucose syrup
Wheat DME (4 oz) was also an ingredient of the main brew. Although my local home brew store said it wasn't needed and wouldn't affect the taste of my beer (especially given the 6 lbs of M&F light DME in the recipe)
By the same token they said I could skip the pre-bottling DME and glucose syrup and gave me 5oz of priming sugar.
Based on this website: A Primer on Priming
Assuming 0.8 initial CO2 content and a target of 1.5-1.75, means an extra 0.8-1.2 volumes are needed.
If 0.5oz/gallon = 1 volume then I need aprox 2.5 oz for a 5 gallon mix.
Does this make sense? 2.5oz priming sugar in 5 gallons, or should I use the entire 5oz package?
Thank you!
