strawbery red ale priming sugar question

[gmaupin]

I made a 3 gallon batch of this for my SWMBO and its bottling time how much bottling/priming sugar do I add to this so that I dont have bottle bombs ? yes I used real berry's so I worry about the natural sugars from berrys

Check out the recipe section on this; but I did a raspberry requiem a month or so ago. I used the standard amount of sugar for a 5 gallon batch and did not have any issues. Don't know the difference in the sugar between raspberries and strawberries; but I also used organic to insure no extra preservatives or sugars were added to them.

How long has it been since you added the berries? If it's been 2-3 weeks or more than just use the normal amount of sugar. If it hasn't been 2-3 weeks, wait longer, otherwise the flavours won't be as good as they could be.

Any sugar that was in the berries would have fermented out in this time.

Yeah as the berries sat in fermentation they will be devoured by the yeasties and the nice ripe red strawberries will begin to turn white/brown.
