I have searched and come up empty or lost in all of the corny keg threads... I am looking for a decent answer as to how much priming sugar to use to naturally carb a 1/2bbl.
I have found some calculators and they seem to want me to use 13oz-ish. However I have read it takes MUCH less to carb in a keg because of volume.
If this matters it will be a Hoff Stevens keg. I would like to add the sugar and end up with 15 gallons. I estimate that I will have just over 14 gallons before I add the sugar (This is an estimate). The OG was 1.060 WLP kolsh yeast.
My questions:
How much priming sugar (Dextrose/corn sugar) do I need?
Is there a calculator that is useful for kegs? or is there some equation I seem to be not finding?
Has anyone else done this with success?
Thanks in advance.
