I've got a batch of IPA I'm planning on bottling today, but I'm not sure how much dextrose to add for priming.

I'm afraid I'm without a scale, so can anyone offer up a typical amount by volume?

Thanks!

I believe you can go with 3/4 of a cup per 5 gallons of beer. Just boil 3/4 of water, add the dextrose and stir for a few until complete dissolved then let cool.
