Frequently Asked Questions
What is priming sugar used for?
Priming sugar is added to beer just before bottling so residual yeast ferments it and produces the CO2 that carbonates the beer.
How much sugar is needed for 20 liters going from 0.8 to 2.5 CO2 volumes?
That batch needs about 136 grams of table sugar, using a simplified estimate.
Does sugar type change the amount needed?
Yes, corn sugar, honey, and dry malt extract all carbonate somewhat differently than table sugar, and a real adjustment factor for each type improves precision beyond this simplified version.
