    Sugar or DME for bottling your beer?

    I have heard that a lot of corn or table sugar will make your beer thin
    and bodyless..... I'm bottling next week and I may try some DME some
    coopers carbonation tablets and some sugar.

    A *lot* of sugar will change the flavour of your beer.

    The small amount used for bottle conditioning won't make any difference.

    A better idea is to chuck the bottles, buy a kegging system and gas with
    CO2.

    Never wash a bottle again. Bliss.

    24 beers in a carton. 24 hours in a day. Hmm...?

    You have to "wash" the bottles?



    Thanks I'll plan on using pellets to make it simple.... rather than
    sweating the minor details.
