Calculate dry priming sugar amounts for commonly used bottles: 12 fluid ounces (355 mL) or 16 fluid ounces (473 mL). Custom volumes can be entered into the optional volume field. Keep the measurement units consistent. Use either Fahrenheit and fluid ounces or Celsius and milliliters. Beer temperature (degrees F or C)
Target carbonation (volumes CO2)
Optional custom volume (fluid ounces or milliliters)
Measurement units: US Metric

## 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
