Currently about to bottle a load of MSB DRA which is sitting nicely around 1014.

Just wondering how many g's of sugar per 700ml bottle i should add? I have a white 3 cup sugar measure with 3 markers on it;

0.33
0.5
0.75

I know typically it would each stand for 330ml, 500ml and 750ml respecitvly but i'm unsure as to if the measure might also be 3.3g, 5.0g and 7.50g.

Confused

In the middle of the device reads;

DOSATORE
PER
ZUCCHERO

Which i imagine is dose per serving in 330ml, 500ml and 750ml but i just want to be sure

G'day wimmig'

Someone correct me if i'm wrong ( pissed) but i think rule of thumb is 7gm/tallies , 3gm/std stubbs.

But mate, do yourself a favour and shoot off down to your HBS and grab a two in one measurer. ( priming ).

Or alternatively get some carbonation drops.
One per stubb , two per tallie.

Correct.

Hmmmm.

If one was to bulk prime, this would not be an issue



You can tell me to piss off, its OK

Geez Dogger. You go on almost as much as that bloke and his "chest freezer".

Correct.

Excellent, i will use the 0.75 for bottle sugar measuring on my 750ml bottles.

Thank you

Who was that Evo, remember?

Can't quite recall, Dogger, but from memory he really sounded like he knew his stuff

Actually Dogger, while I've got you on the subject, how do you bulk prime your brews ? I'm assuming you keg 18 litres of it, then "syphon" the remainder into another vessel, work out how much beer is in the other vessel, bosh in the priming sugar and then go.

I might start doing this myself, if only to get a few long necks out of each batch to keep for a bit.

This is rather unorthodox way of doing it and I don't recommend it. Kids, don't do this at home


I fill the keg to the 19 litres, and have the remaining four litres or so in a juice jug. I add 3/4 tbsp per batch of dextrose, no added water and then I stir it with a tablespoon.

Then I pour the primed beer into the bottle.

At least the spoon isn't wooden

Hmmm i don't think that method is for me..

I used the measure for .75 on each 750ml bottle to prime with dextrose. Measure was cleaned in metabisulphate before use, and kept off any un-clean surfaces during use.

What I do is calculate how much priming sugar would be required for the entire volume of beer based on intended carbonation level. This mass is boiled in water for 5 minutes with the lid on the pot and is put into a spare fermenter (or bottling bucket). I rack the beer onto this making sure it's swirling nicely whilst filling and then bottle.

Much easier than adding individual scoops of sugar to bottles and an hell of a lot more accurate.

NRB,

doesn't accuracy take all the fun out of it ?

Tommo, do you like Russian Roulette too?

NRB,

BANG......

Phew ... that was close
