Alright lads,im new to the EZ cap brewing and i'd like

to know if anyone can tell me how to measure a ""cup""

of sugar? and how much is a 1/2 to 3/4 cup of sugar? a

'cup' aint a cup unless you know what a 'cup'is, also

how do you get an 1/8th of a teaspoon of yeast! that

is so hard to work out,i aint got a clue how to

measure these important factors without scales on the

initial brews,can anyone give me their views on these

points? can anyone tell me their weights of stuff like

yeast and sugar?,cheers chaps.from James.England







A cup is 8 ounces. So a 1/2 cup is 4 ounces, and 3/4 is 6 ounces.

If you are totally without measuring equipment the average man's hand

holds approximately half of a cup = 4ounces. IIRC

As for the yeast, I usually just use about 1/4 to 1/2 a packet of dry
yeast.

Not sure about liquid yeasts, as I haven't used any yet. :-)

The amount/weight of the yeast and sugar kind of depends on what you

specifically want to brew as well.
