Coopers - 07-IZ3Z-LI40 DIY Home Brewing Carbonation Drops

There are plenty of methods to add priming sugar when bottle conditioning your brew, most of which can be accomplished at far lower cost than using Coopers carbonation drops. However, I have had very good results using these drops. I put one carbonation drop in each 12-oz bottle, add beer, cap it, wait a week, chill it, and then every bottle I open forms a nice head when poured into a glass. In my years of home brewing I have tried measuring sugar bottle by bottle and also mixing some amount of sugar into the whole batch just prior to bottling--and I always end up with some bottles being overcarbonated (stand back) and other bottles from the same batch being unsatisfying and flat. The carbonation drops take away the guesswork. You get pretty consistent carbonation throughout the batch. The drops came packaged in bubble wrap, undamaged. You want to be careful not to throw the bag around as some of the drops will break or crumble from rough handling. My only packaging complaint is that I wish the bag was resealable with a ziplock or something. I use a bread tie to hold it closed between batches. Also, be sure your hands are dry when you are handling the drops so you don't make a sticky mess. Bottom line: if you are like me and have trouble getting your homebrew to carbonate correctly, spend the extra money for these drops, and you won't be disappointed.

This was the best option for your money if you’re trying to brew it home and one an easy dose to get the right amount of carbonation for your bottling of your beer there is no cleaning involved and the value of the product was worth the money

These drops have never failed me. I found an open, 11 year old, bag and used them recently. They worked like new. I know they are more expensive than priming sugar but my time, while bottling has value too...lol

I make lots of small batches of brew (usually one gallon batches). I'm not very good at calculating how much priming sugar I need, and also don't know exactly how many bottles each batch will yield. These drops solve my problems. If you use these drops, then be patient. In my experience, they take a lot longer than two weeks to carbonate beer. I keep my bottles at room temperature, usually between 64-68 degrees. My bottles take at least one month to carbonate. My hunch is that the drops take a long time to dissolve. I prefer my beers to have high carbonation. These drops work great with 12-ounce bottles. I find that my 16-ounce bottles are under-carbonated when using one drop. I find these drops to be reliable and convenient. I'll continue to use them; they just take a bit longer than other methods.

Arrived on time

I brewed a beer at a local brew on premises place and the amount of priming sugar they suggested and added to my bottling bucket was definitely not what the beer needed (a Hoegaarden clone). After letting it carbonate on its own for two weeks the beer was quite flat. I only had two options at this point and that was to either toss the batch out or try to corbonate it a little more. So I opened each bottle, popped in a tablet, recapped everyone one them. Waited another two weeks for the tablet to fully dissolve and carbonate. Now the beer tastes exactly like it should have the first time. So no need to toss the whole batch (as it was flat), just add a tablet put it away for a little while and you're good to go. Saved my batch, excellent product!!!

Had a batch of beer that just didn’t carbonate properly with priming sugar. Opened the bottles, dropped in these tablets and in 2 weeks the flat beer was fixed. Made it so easy, I just used these on the next batch instead of the priming sugar. I wish that they had half size tablets. Adding 1-1/2 tablets for a 16 oz bottle is a pain. More expensive to use than priming sugar but so simple and easy to use.

One drop for approximately 12 oz of brew is recommended. I used one-liter bottles to bottle my brew (a liter is almost 34 oz) and since the bottles were just shy of 36 ounces I decided to prime with 3 drops per bottle (the recommended amount). Bad mistake. The bottles severely over-carbonated and sprayed everywhere upon being opened (a real mess). I recommend no more than one drop per 20 oz of brew (unless you want a mess on your hands). I should have used 1 and a half drops for my one liter bottles (regardless of what the recommendation calls for). Although in fairness, I should say that my house was a little bit on the warm side when the bottles were carbonating. That probably contributed to the over-carbonation. Nevertheless, be cautious with these drops!

einfach und gut in der Anwendung

I no longer use these on a regular basis as bottle priming with sugar solution is easier and much cheaper, but for a beginning homebrewer who's a little leery of bulk priming, these work in a pinch. Good to have on hand in case you forget to add sugar solution to your bottling bucket and have to prime in the bottle!

I purchased the Home Brew & Wine Making Pack of 80 Carbonation Tablets, and I’m really pleased with them. They’re very easy to use — just drop the right amount into the bottle before sealing, and they do the job perfectly. The carbonation is consistent, and my home brew came out nicely fizzy without any issues. No mess, no guesswork, and much more convenient than measuring sugar.
