I've gotten to where I prefer to syringe inject my carbonation priming quantity of corn sugar (in grams, as calculated via a separate calculator) into my bottles directly and individually via making up in advance of bottling a solution of a calculated weight in grams of corn sugar into a calculated total (final, overall) volume of combined water and sugar solution. To that end I've made up this easy to use free spreadsheet calculator. It calculates in excess by a bit such that if you wind up with an extra bottle or two, or if you lose a small amount to drippage, etc..., there will likely be enough left over to accommodate.

Download at the Google Drive link seen below (by pressing the "down arrow" seen next to the printer icon in the upper right hand corner) and then launch and run in Excel or LibreOffice Calc.

Note 1: The calculator as downloaded defaults to (an end user changeable) 5.3 mL as the desired injection quantity simply because I discovered that my plastic 5 mL medicine delivery syringe when retracted fully to its stop delivers a measured 5.3 mL. This makes filling the syringe quite easy, as it means filling it as far as it can be filled each time.

NOTE 2: You will find that having these on hand will make it much easier to make up your fully dissolved corn sugar solution to the targeted final solution volume. https://www.amazon.com/Labvida-Meas...sprefix=graduated+cylinder+500,aps,200&sr=8-5
