PhilboBaggins Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I reckon 3 for a lagerish beer, but if it's a darker style then only 2. Carb drops make the beer too gassy imho. Good luck mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasond4 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 You use 1 drop per 375ml, so 1250ml/375ml= 3.33333333r. In other words 3 drops per 1.25Ml bottle. I think that should be plenty. Sometimes I've used 1 drop in my King Browns (750ml) and its come out fine, but only if it's an Ale...Lagers not so good.
