Priming

[mancer62]

What's best to use to prime pressure barrels & bottles and how much should be used for each?

 

[Baz Chaz]

Ordinary granulated sugar.

For 23 ltr brew anywhere between 60g (my lowest) to 120g (far too fizzy for me) thats for batch priming bottles.
if you want to prime individual bottles, between half a level teaspoon and a level teaspoon per 500ml bottle.

Once primed keep in warm for a week, then into cool for a couple of weeks (longer is better)

my first batch was batch primed at 115g and was a bit too fizzy for me. from then on i primed with 90g.

I normally go with between 80g and 100g depending if I wanted a little more fizz on not
