How much sugar for Coopers?

Post by Scotty » Thu Jan 29, 2009 1:52 pm

Chaps,

Just about to keg my stout when reading the instructions, it doesn't state how much sugar should be used. However it does say 8g per litre when bottling, I am assuming it would be a bit risky adding 170g-ish!!

8g per litre would be okay for a lager, but for a stout I would only add 4g per litre, or 80-90g to a 23L batch.

I used extra dark spray malt, thinking it was just dark. No worries though, I'm just hoping my keg doesn't leak again :roll:
