Hi guys,
I have a hefeweizen from AHS 1 day in the primary and was starting to think about how much priming sugar I would need. I have about 5.5G so after we siphon off the top, I'll have around 5-5.25G to bottle. The kit came with 4.5oz of priming sugar (corn sugar). I've checked out the online calcs and want to run these number by you guys because they seem high, and I dont' want bottle bombs! So the temp of fermentation is 72 and I want about 4.0 units of CO2. According to that, I would need about 8 oz of sugar which seems crazy high. Since I have 4.5oz of corn, i was going to add 3.5oz of table sugar. Does this seem right?
Thanks!
