Hello I'm Brian.
I have only recently become interested in home brewed beers and lagers. I have a basic question and hope someone can give me a bit of advice.
I've given the ball a kick for want of a better phrase in the home brew shop. I got a Coopers Australian lager kit and a Woodfordes Wherry pale ale kit.
Also a heater belt for my fermenting container.
At the same time I bought three boxes of PET bottles (Coopers 500ml)
So with the bits I already have I'm ready to start.
My question is that whilst in the shop I talked myself into buying a packet if coopers carbonation drops. And to be fair to the shop owners they did point out that whilst a convenient way of adding primer the drops worked out much dearer than using normal brewing sugar.
Having got home and read the dosage detail on the back of the packet which says
One for a 375 ml bottle
Two for a 750 ml bottle.
Of course the PET bottles I've bought are 500ml.
So what does anyone think should I use two per bottle or could I get away with one?
I've tried breaking one in half but finished up with a thousand bits.
(So much for convenience)
I will stick to brewing sugar next time.
Thanks in anticipation and best regards to all.
