JamesT18 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hello everyone I just have a quick question about the number of drops to use for different sizes of bottles. I know the dose for priming the bottles is 1 for (375-500) and 2 for (740-750) however i have 24 PET litre bottles for my Mexican cerveza(due to be ready in a few days). How many drops would you recommend? Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi James. The recipe for Aztec Gold (is this the recipe you're using?) says 8g per litre. The carb drops are 3g each. So you can either go 2 (6g = less fizzy) or 3 (9g = more fizzy) depends how fizzy you like it. Or you can measure 8g of sugar per bottle - that's not in my league yet, I've only used the drops so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Personally I would Bulk Prime and get exactly what I want in each bottle. Otherwise I would either measure the required sugar to each bottle or go for no more than 3 carb drops per litre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesT18 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 It\u2019s just the cooper Mexican ceravaz kit with brew enhancer 2. It\u2019s going well so far. This is only my second batch and I\u2019ve only used the drops so far so I will probably just use 3 drops per bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 bulk priming for sure... Ive only ever once put undiluted dex into a bottle and the bloody thing foamed all over the place, it was a bottle the lid didn't seal properly and I didn't want to throw it away... hence I guess why they make the drops and why bulk priming rocks.
