Notes

Dry priming is to add a small amount of sugar directly to each bottle before filling with beer and capping.

Basic carbonation reference in volumes of CO₂:

• Low: 2.0 to 2.4 - British beer styles
• Medium: 2.5 to 2.7 - Most beers
• High: 2.8 to 3.0 - American, wheat beers
• Over 3.0 - Some Belgian styles, wheat beers; unsafe for standard bottles
