Hi, I wonder if any of you can help settle a debate we are having at home? I made the fiery ginger beer recipe and wanted cloudy beer, here were my ingredients:

1.6kg ginger
2.5tsp cinnamon
2.5tsp ginger powder
6g pk of yeast
1tsp cream of tartar
0.5tsp chilli flakes

2 gallons of water
1.1kg sugar
boiled, strained, in the fermenters (DJs) and then added yeast.

We want carbonated ginger beer, so when I rack the beer to another bottle, do I add campden tabs in the other FV and sugar on bottling or does one negate the other? Some reading amongst all those threads out there suggested not to add campden if priming and some do :wha:

Any advice greatly appreciated!
 
No need to add a campden tablet, just bottle and prime, then tuck them away somewhere warm for the yeast to work away on the sugar :thumb:
