How Do You Accurately Measure Dex 4 Bottle Priming?

[Barley Belly]

How do you accurately measure Dex 4 bottle priming?

I know you can get those metered scoops for white sugar.

But how do you guys who use Dex measure out the right amount of Dextrose with out making it flat or bottle bombs?

I use a scale LOL

If you bulk prime to easy 6-9g/L.
The lower for medium carbonation.
If you single prime you can still use those bottling scoops.
BUT add sterile water to each bottle for the dextrose as the dextrose will gush up.

I tried adding dextrose to bottle single priming without disolving the dextrose and the bottle all gushed and i had to top the beer up again.
A lot of wasted beer.

Here a quote from Maltedhopalong from a similar problem I had.

Hey Brewtus, see my above post. Dextrose, by its nature has a HUGE amount of surface area by volume, which provides a site for the nucleation of co2 bubbles. I've had the vesuvius effect on beers that have been finished primary for over a week, generally high gravity ones with lots of malt and therefore more dissolved co2.

It can occur if bottling prior to completing the fermentation (when there's inherently more co2), but it's not the cause.
