I have an Oktoberfest fermenting on secondary now and in a week I will be putting 1 gallon in bottles with priming tablets. I want to prime the remaining 4 gallons with priming sugar in my keg but I'm not sure how much to use. Could some provide assistance on this matter, please and thank you.
 
I'm not sure how it will work with that much headspace in a keg, but usually you use about 2.5 ounces priming sugar total in a 5 gallon keg. but with the amount of a 1 gallon headspace, I'd be tempted to use the "regular" amount and just purge it if it's overcarbed.
