BOTTLING
BOTTLING YOUR BEER:

- We recommend Carbonation Drops. Follow the dosage instructions on the package. You can also use regular table sugar: 2-3 grams per 33 cl bottle.
- Fill the bottles with beer and leave a airpocket at the top. Cap it and place it in room temperature for at least one week. Open a bottle and test the carbonation levels. If you think its enough, chill for a week or two. Enjoy!
