Folks,
I have 5.5 gallons of Belgian Tripel (FG=1.002!) that needs to be bottled asap and I only have honey and dry wheat extract available for priming.
While the honey comes from my hives and is high quality, I would rather not rely on it for priming. This leaves me with the dry wheat extract and, after much googling, I have seen only a few references to using this for priming.
Assuming I want ~2.2 volumes of CO2, could anyone please give me a ballpark on the volume (I do not yet have a balance) of dry wheat extract to use for priming? 1 cup? 1.5 cups?
Thanks!
