So I have been using the Northern Brewer priming sugar calculator as of late to formulate my priming sugar amount. So far first beer 2 weeks in bottle at specified sugar calculation from NB's calc and its still a little flat but I can tell its still carbonating as I have done a 1 week and a 2 week test and the pop did increase and the fizz/foam was more pronounced than in week 1.
For the sake of just having a broader spectrum of data I decided to check out Brewers Friend's calc and for the same beer, same temp, and same volume, the BF calc gave me a total of .35 oz's more.
Northern Brewer Calc = 4.15 oz to get desired CO2
Brewers Friend Calc = 4.5 oz to get desired CO2
Now I am not sure if .35 oz's will make that much of a difference but would assume it could potentially leave an added sweet flavor if its more than required to get to desired CO2.
My question is....Does anyone prefer one calculator vs another and it doesnt have to be between the two I mentioned above? Does the above .35 oz more from BF calc really make that big of difference when it comes to priming?
I have really been on the fence with going to Fizz drop tabs as I keep beating myself up about getting this priming formula correct based on the difference of information between the available calculators that I have tried.
Any opinions/feedback welcome.
