Geordie Instructions

[bugle]

Was wondering if someone could help me out?

I have a geordie bitter kit ready for bottling however have lost the instructions, does anybody know what rate of priming sugar is req?

Cheers

Most kits use 3/4 cup of priming sugar.

Or 1 tspoon per pint.

Yeah it was 1tsp for a lager kit I have here, so this would be the same for the bitter?

Damn, when I read the post title I thought you wanted something translating from Geordie into English.

Gan canny!

Same here.

Luckily for you i just bought a geordie scottish export kit, instructions seem to be a general instruction and i'd imagine the amount of priming sugar is the same for all kits?

Instructions say half a level teaspoon per pint or two and half ounces for the whole 5 gallons if your putting it into a barrel or just want to mix it all in at once.

Hope that helps

Good point bitter is primed less than lager, so 1/2 tspoon is about right.

Ha ha lost in translation, luckily I was fortunate to have lived in the NE for 4/5 years, so am pretty conversant! lol


And that was just my thinking with the bitter being less primed than lager, so glad I checked, cheers all...

Well bottled it up, thanks for the help! Not bottled beer before, will be nice to be able to get it in the fridge! Used cheap tesco water pet bottles though... Have i bottled beer, or built some little bombs???? LOL

2 litre bottles, look like lemonade bottles? They'll be fine, that's what my beer goes in. It'll last a day or so once opened, not so nice if you leave half a bottle for a week. Doh...

Or, the square ribbed pet bottles? your in trouble... look out..

Nah, lol its not the still water bottles... Its the sparkling water ones, just like a lemonade bottle...

Oh good someone else does use these ones, how do you go about disturbing sediment on the second glass? or do you decant the lot?
