    Priming Sugar ratio

    I'm dealing with bottle bombs because I was off in my calculations of priming sugar. I brew 5 gallon batches, keg half of it in a 2.5G Corny and bottle condition the rest. I took the normal 5oz of priming sugar, put half in the bottles and 2/3 of what remained in my keg. What am I doing...
