Priming Tips
- Use the temperature of the beer when fermentation finished, not current room temp — residual CO₂ depends on this.
- Dissolve dextrose in a small amount of boiled, cooled water before adding to the bottling bucket.
- Gently stir the sugar solution in — don't splash or you'll oxidise the beer.
- Condition bottles at 18–22°C for at least 10 days before refrigerating.
- Dextrose is more reliable than table sugar for consistent carbonation and no off-flavours.
