Priming 330ml Bottles

[Farrie]

Hi

I'm new to this and have just started my first brew. I've got a bit of a concern though. I have collected a heap of good 330ml bottles for my brew. I am using carbonation drops to prime my beer. I am just concerned that using carbonation drops in a 330ml bottle will over prime my beer, as one drop is for 375ml. Do you think this will be ok or should i get some new bottles?

Cheers!!

you'll be fine - i have done it before with no ill effect. just be sure that fermentation has finished.

have a read into bulk priming - do a search on here or google - so much simplier (my opinion only of course).

Your first brew, the carbonation drops will suffice. Just give it a few weeks, i.e open one up. They will ALL carbonate in time. Often with first brews......... we dont give them time.
If they over carbonated with only one lollie (carb drop) I would be looking at other factors of the brewing process.

Agree.
Use your carb drops up, but don't get more. Bulk prime FTW. Lets you fill a mix of different size stubbies and bottles from the same batch and all end up carbed the same.
