What Are Carbonation Drops?

Carbonation drops are a convenient product used by home brewers to carbonate beer or cider during the bottling process. Carbonation drops are small, pre-measured sugar tablets that eliminate the need for measuring and handling loose sugar. They dissolve once added to the bottled brew, providing a precise amount of sugar to fuel secondary fermentation in the bottle. This secondary fermentation generates carbon dioxide, which is absorbed into the liquid, thereby carbonating the beverage.

Why Use Carbonation Drops?

The key advantage of using carbonation drops is their convenience and accuracy, ensuring each bottle receives a consistent amount of sugar, which leads to more uniform carbonation levels across your batch. They are particularly popular among home brewers who value ease and consistency in their bottling process.

Tip For Young Players

Carbonation drops are best suited for use in 350ml or 750ml bottles.

Some brewers go to the trouble of breaking carbonation drops and adding one and a portion of a second to a 500ml bottle, or you could consider using an alternative method such as measuing dextrose for your secondary fermentation in the bottle.
