I have two questions. First is I just racked to my secondary and added some blackberry extract to make a Blackberry Wheat beer. How long should I let it stay in the secondary, one or two weeks?

Then my next question is when I go to bottle how much sugar should I use? I used 3/4 of a cup of corn sugar for my 5 gallon batch last time and it came out a little under carbonated? How much sugar should I add for this five gallon Blackberry Wheat batch?

Thank you all.

I would give it 2 weeks in secondary and if you were a little under carbed at 3/4 cup, you could go up to say 1 cup or between 3/4 and 1 cup, and see if that gives you a better carb level.
