priming a 2ltr bottle?

[malty_me]

Right iv done a big batch of ginger beer but all my bottles are being used to condition my bitter. Iv bought some super cheap lemonade to use the bottles. How much sugar do I need to put in to each 2ltr bottle to prime it. I would usually put 1 teaspoon per 500ml bottle. Going on that would I put 2 teaspoons per 2ltrs?

hi yes around 2 tea spoons will be right for a ginger beer

errrmm... going on you putting 1 tspn in 500ml then surely you want to be putting 4 tspns in 2 ltrs ? 2 x 500ml = 1000ml (1ltr)

beware 4 tea spoons is around 20g so that makes 20g times 23l equals 460g of sugar per batch !, like i said 2 tea spoons would be about right which is around 10g per litre making 230 g per 23l batch

He wants to put 4 teaspoons in 2litres not 1 litre, which is the same as 1 teaspoon per 500ml so looks right to me

I realised my mistake almost immediately but couldn't get on here. 4 would of been too much. It would of either over carbonated and exploded or just been too sweet. Either way I did put 2 in and they seem fine. Hard bottles is a good sign too me. Cheers anyway though
