Hello,
I am about to bottle a brew and realised I do not have enough of my Coopers plastic homebrew bottles for the brew (i.e. I only have 15 empties). So it looks like I am going to have to break out the emergency collection of 1.25L soft drink bottles I have been saving for just such an occassion.
So how do I prime softdrink bottles? Obviously I am used to just dropping in 2 carb drops into my 700mL bottles. Should I use 3 or 4 carb drops, or should I measure out an amount manually. If I am doing it manually, what kind of sugar should I use? The usual white table sugar you put on your cornflakes, brown sugar, raw sugar, or what?
The brew is Coopers Australian Pale Ale.
