Carbonation drops (coopers)

[Leesomers]

New to brewing and me and a few friends have made a few batches and bottled it in 500ml plastic bottles

My question to day is how many carbonation drops is best for 500ml bottles?

Thank lee

It depends what you are brewing. If you want a decent amount of CO2 then you will need 1.5 in each bottle. It's a huge PITA, hence why most recommend to stay away from them.

The back of the packet will say something like 1 for a 375ml bottle and 2 for a 750ml bottle. Just a ploy to get you buying their bottles rather than using your own, IMO.

+1 on this and I use a mix of bottles too, easier when you have a bambino running around trying to eat everything lol
