Priming sugar

[alexg]

I am priming 25 litres of pilner lager for bottling. At the moment it is in a clean fermenting bin after being siphoned out of a primary. How much priming sugar will be needed to produce the required fizz? It has been fermenting before for 2.5 weeks.

It really depends on how cold the beer is and how carbonated you want it to be. Could be 100g, could be 150.

The beer will be around 22 degrees celcius and I would like it to be the normal carbonation that a lager has.

Thanks

170 grams should get you there at 22 deg C for a 25 litre batch. That's about 2.6 volumes of CO2.
