yep.
how much priming sugar would you normally use for a stot?
Stouts should be carbed on the "low" end.

they've been in the bottle for 4 months now and thay are now really over carbonated with uncontrolable head when i pour them.

maybe i'll try to open them like half an hour before i drink them to release some pressure and i'll try to drink them all pretty soon.
