I use carbonation drops to prime my bottles when doing lagers. This is my first stout, would I put in one drop or should I use half teaspoon of sugar instead.
Its the beauty of home brewing. Do you like a fizzy stout or a more still and stately stout. The difference between a carb drop and half a tsp sugar will be minimal. I put two in a Coopers Dark Ale ( 500ml bottles ) and got a fizzy alcoholic dandelion and burdock, which I did and am still liking. I made a second brew of it with 1 carb drop. its an " ale " type stout with a lot less fizz I like that too. You decide....your the brewer. :
