Are you serious. How much would 30 sugar sachets cost compared with..........A $1 kg bag of sugar that u would only use about 300grams of for bulk priming? Waste of time, money and landfill imoNullnvoid said:Well before I was ready to start in home brew a head brewer from a brewery told me to use sugar sachets as they contain the right amount and are easy to put into a bottle. He wasn't wrong! Never had any issues.
I get some from work and buy the rest. Perfect.
Nah just joking. Ohh wait no I'm pretty serious.SJW said:Are you serious. How much would 30 sugar sachets cost compared with..........A $1 kg bag of sugar that u would only use about 300grams of for bulk priming? Waste of time, money and landfill imo
Might be worth getting a new bell for the capper and crown top bottles.bonk1972 said:You maybe onto something yum beer I have an old capper and I have been using screw top bottles may have to experiment and find some flip top bottles
All goodNullnvoid said:Nah just joking. Ohh wait no I'm pretty serious.
I find it works out about the same. Couple of bucks for 50 sticks, a couple of bucks for 500g of sugar. Time and effort need to be taken into account.
As for the landfill I have two kids. Nothing compares with what they throw out. Packing for toys these days is horrendous. Not that they get much but it's still more than a few sugar sachets.
Just my opinion anyway.
Hey bonk happy new year first of all. This happened to me recently. I have been handing out my beers and some people have told me that it was flat and needed more carbonation. I just thought they didn't know what they were talking about lol. But then I opened one for myself and it didn't make that pfft sound. It was a was a screw top that wouldn't seal right. I have a mix of crown and screw atm. from now on I'm throwing my screw tops away. Not worth ruining beer for it.bonk1972 said:You maybe onto something yum beer I have an old capper and I have been using screw top bottles may have to experiment and find some flip top bottles
