The ingredients you posted on the other question

Orange- oil of orange, alcohol, water. Watermelon-propylene glycol, alcohol, water, natural watermelon flavor

don't contain any fermentables, so you should add priming sugar also.

Go easy on the amount - 4oz in 5 gallons is the upper limit what you need, so you could start with less than that, e.g 3oz.


That would really depend on the contents of the extract. If the extract contains a significant amount of fermentable sugar, yes. If not, no.
