Carbonation Drops

Work less. Get more consistent carbonation. Help protect your beer from unnecessary oxygen exposure.

Carbonation Drops are a simple alternative to traditional batch priming with corn sugar. Instead of dissolving priming sugar, transferring your beer to another vessel, mixing, and then bottling, you dose each bottle individually with a premeasured drop.

Why use carbonation drops?

• Consistent dosing bottle to bottle: Each bottle receives the same measured amount of sugar, helping produce more uniform carbonation across the batch.
• Less handling: Traditional batch priming often means another vessel, another transfer, and additional mixing before bottling.
• Fewer opportunities for oxygen pickup: Once fermentation is underway or complete, oxygen exposure can accelerate staling and dull hop and malt character. Eliminating an unnecessary transfer and mixing step gives you fewer chances to introduce oxygen.
• Less equipment to clean: Skip the extra priming vessel and the cleanup that comes with it.
• Faster bottling day: Drop, fill, cap, and move on.

You are already exposing the beer to some air during the act of bottling. The goal is not to pretend oxygen exposure can be eliminated completely, but to avoid adding extra handling steps when they are not necessary. Carbonation Drops let you prime directly in the bottle while keeping the process simple and repeatable.

If you still batch prime with corn sugar, consider this the easier option: no priming solution to prepare, no extra transfer just to mix sugar into the batch, and no guessing whether the sugar was distributed evenly.

Dosage:

• 12 oz bottle: 1 drop
• 22 oz bottle: 2 drops

After bottling, condition at room temperature for approximately 2 weeks, then chill and enjoy.
