Q? -- Splitting a batch - 2.5g Keg + 2.5g bottled (priming sugar?)

I was curious if I kegged 1/2 the batch to a 2.5g keg and bottled the rest.. how much priming sugar I needed.

If I used;
priming sugar for 5 gallon batch bottled, X amount of sugar (normal)
1/2 the normal amount of priming sugar for a keg

meaning

1/2 of the normal amount used for 2.5 gallons that I bottle
1/4 of the normal amount used for priming a 2.5gallon keg
1/4 of the normal amount I could save for another 2.5gallon keg

??

Not sure what you are trying to say.

But I think 1/2 the normal priming sugar for half a batch sounds reasonable to me.

Click to expand...

it takes X amount of priming sugar for 5 gallons (bottled)

a keg takes half of X to prime it according to many on this forum.


So mathematically speaking... it would take 1/4 of the amount of priming sugar to prime 2.5 gallon kegs.

?

5 gallon keg priming sugar = .5X

.5X /2 = amount of sugar that you'd need

I'd day that .25 is the correct amount of priming sugar providing naturally carbing a keg only requires .5 the priming sugar that bottles do.

Thanks.

I just wanted to confirm as I just ordered 2 (2.5 gallon) kegs.
