    how much corn sugar for priming can grolsch style swing tops handle? you think 7 ounces will make them break?
    wanna really carbonate a cyser as much as i can.

    4 ounces to 5 gallons should get you 2.4 volumes. I wouldnt go above 5 ounces per 5 gallons or you get bottle bombs

    this is the thing though, swing tops are rated to handle 4 volumes, and i want a super carbonated cyser for extra sparkle. what i am trying to figure out is how much corn cugar it takes to get to 4 volumes.

    Based on the Tastybrew Calculator it's 8.5 oz to get 4 volumes.

    i use 3/8 on my sanke setup because krausen never gets that high. I used 5/8 when working with carboys. i think the 5/8 fit over the cut-off top of an air-lock.

    I'll buy the 3/8 but I think it will blow the bung! I've gone thru 3 airlocks In under two hours.

    The problem I have now is the glass is slippery due to the volcano effect.
