how much suger to use.

[fermorandy]

Hi people, just a quick question from this first timer.. my hydrometer has been reading the same for 24 hours now
it reads 1.010, i started brewing last sat so i think i'm prob ready to put in keg.
can some nice person tell me how much suger i need to put in the keg first .
the brew i'm doing is admirals reserve from woodfordes[ it does say 1/2 a teaspoon per pint,] shall i just go with that ?
or does anyone know a better option. hope someone can advise. thanks in advance.

sounds like its ready at 1010. half a teaspoon per pint is right, works out as 85g in the keg, dissolved in a bit of boiled water.

60 to 80 grams your choice it will br fine.

Thanks for your replies guys, been a big help. i'll do 1/2 a teaspoon per pint .

Measure out 85grams, mix with some boiling water, let it cool a little and add it to your keg.
A darn lot easier and quicker than using 40 teaspoonfuls

Or even 20 teaspoon fulls.. I nearly made that mistake myself.

Thanks guys , how long would u think its best left ? or is it left untill it clears [assuming it does]

[dunc]

four to six weeks before you start on it... or as long as your willpower lasts.

Thanks dunc, i'll do my best to leave it for that long, although it wont be easy. lol .

I use 3g per litre

I used 350g for a 40 pint Mexican Cerveza kit. It turn out great, really nice and fizzy without being too gassy. This is probably a bit much for an ale and I wouldn't recommend it in a keg, but for bottled lagers I've found it's worth experimenting
