Quick question about Brupaks Irish Stout

StitchKaboodle

Hi there,

I'm new to homebrewing and I was wondering will I need to add carbonate drops/sugar/glucose to my stout when I am bottling it?

If so can I use regular sugar or is this a no no?

Thanks

Yea if you want it carbonated you will need to add some from of simple sugar, wither the coopers drop per bottles or around 100g of table sugar per 20 litres.

Thanks. I wasn't sure whether or not needed to be fizzy.

Its up to you, but a little bit of carbonation is nice in a beer
