Post by: mladen on April 19, 2020, 10:40:31 PM
Hi,

Anyone knows about a place to get above mentioned in Carlow or nearby? I have a batch almost done and just have realized that I am few lids short and that the only place I know that sells this stuff in Carlow is closed...

thanks..

Dissolve table sugar into a syrup.
If you do not have a bottling bucket, use a sterile/sanitized syringe to add correct amount to bottles before filling.
Look up online carbonation calculators for the amount to use.

odd I know but some of the supermarkets used to or still do sell homebrew kits and carbonation drops were one such item. Tesco's in maynooth did so.
