NEWBIE - Priming Question

[chrisab]

Hi all,

I've just started my first homebrew - Woodfordes Wherry. I am just about to move it into the pressure barrel and have bought some Geordies Beer Enhancer from wilkos. The kit instructions say a teaspoon of suger per liter to prime, can I substitute this with the same quantity of the beer enhancer? is it worth it although if i can use it i will as i can't be bothered going to the shop again.

Also I need to fill up about three bottles worth for the bloke i borrowed the equipment off, shall i mix it all in the barrel and syphon it to the bottles or just prime the bottles individually?

Thanks for any help
Chris

you could if you wanted to but TBH its a bit of an expensive way to prime, I just use normal sugar to prime. When priming its to give the carbonation and not flavour. Standard brewing sugar would do the same and is cheaper. Brew enhancer is 50% brew sugar and 50% dried spraymalt.
