Carbonation Drops

    Hi guys,
    I've put on a brew and realised I do not have enough carbonation drops for the whole brew. There are no home brew shops in my area so without having to go online to buy more, is there any other type of sugar or substitute I could use?
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You can just use regular sugar. Have you heard of batch priming? Saves a lot of hassle. There's a decent explanation of it here.

    Just use plain table sugar. 1 flat teaspoon per 500ml bottle.

    I don't think you can use normal sugar.

    You can use any "fermentable"sugar.Use a carbonation calculator.You can select what type of sugar you want to use.

    Agree with this, batch priming is definitely the way to go, most convenient method by far
