Hi,

I have been making beer kits for a while, one thing I have noticed is
that every make has a different way to do things. Most of it is all the
same thing although some kits say to use dextrose and not glucose for
carbonation sugar. will that make a difference with any kits?

I also have one kit that says to squeeze the air out of the PET bottles
when screwing the caps to avoid aving any air inside the bottle, I
figure the co2 will fill it back up? is that a good practice I have
never done that to my bottles and never had a problem...

Thanks

Daniel

Your choice of bottling sugar will not make much of a difference on the
flavor, as the flavor is pretty well set by time you bottle. Just be
careful when measuring different types of priming sugar. The different
types of priming sugars (corn sugar, malt extract, honey, etc.) will have
different effects on the levels of carbonation

The little bit of oxygen in the head space of the bottle will not harm your
beer. The yeast goes through a new life cycle when bottling, so the little
O2 in the air space will likely be used by the yeast. Just do whatever
works for you.

Around here in Ontario Canada, everyone uses PET or CANS no one has
glass. Even a new local brewery starting to sell beer in the beer store
in PET... and I do know that there is 2L PET beer bottles in the beer
store...

Cheers!
