I had this same issue when i recently bottled a brew. Most of my bottles with 700ml coopers bottles but i ran out and used anything i could get my hands on. some happened to be 500ml bottles.
i just put 1 carbonation drop in it.. I hope its not too flat only time will tell tho.
I'm thinking of using 500ml bottles for my brew. What would happen if I put 2 cabonation drops into a 500ml bottle? Or should I just use sugar instead so I can measure it properly?
Thanks
Dan.
I dont think is such thing as over carbonated.
as long as the bottles dont break, Im happy getting it as carbonated as possible.
but i dotn like dark or amber ales.. or anything besides lagers, pilsners and pale ales.

Really? How long have you been brewing for? I used to be like that, only lagers and pilsners, but 6 months of brewing my own beer has really opened my eyes to how much variety is out there, and also how damn good some dark beers really can be Now I get funny looks every time I go drinking at the pub with my mates, having to explain why or how I can drink a pint of guinness while everyone else is drinking fairy water...
Agreed. I've been known to turn down free/cheap stuff and pay for quality beers if they have them which gets a few strange looks from the mates.
"Full price Coopers Vintage over happy hour price Pale Ale? What are you? A beer snob?"
why yes, yes I am! :lol:
I figure I am saving so much by brewing my own I can afford to drink the good stuff when I go out if they have it. Love the stouts and porters....mmmm the darker the better!
Two words - Bulk....Prime!
Only way to go. A piece of tube and a bottling bucket with some dissolved sugar in it and you are good to go with any size bottle.
And the word is connoisseur, not snob

you may have caught me out. ive only been brewing for a couple of months.
Although ive made quiet/drunk a few brews in this period of time (K&K only so far).. Also my mate started brewing same time as me so i have tasted alot of different K&K.
Ive made an Amber Ale myself. Didnt like it although others did. And my mate made a dark beer and i didnt like it at all. + I have never liked Guiness at all.
I have definetly started appricated the taste of beer more since ive been brewing. and now im a critic on all beer. But can only really appricate the lagers/pislners and pale ales.
hate stouts+dark beer espessially.
leffe Bruin! I reckon youll like it if you like lagers and pilsners, and itll open your palate to darker malts..
Leffe beers......ahhhhhhhhh
