How do I keg using priming sugar for carbonation?
MyNameIsPaul said:Half the amount of sugar you used to use when bottling, boil in water, add to sanitized keg, fill keg with beer, hit it with CO2, purge oxygen out, let sit for 3 weeks at temps above 70.

Quoting Yooper from one of dozens of threads on this matter:
Well, you use less priming sugar in a keg due to the smaller amount of headspace. In bottling, if you have 53 bottles of a 1.5 inch headspace, that's a lot more than you have in a keg relatively speaking. In your example, a 1/2 filled bottle with MORE headspace will more likely be overcarbed than one with a proper amount of headspace.
