Bottling day help!

Have a simple wheat recipe as shown below. The corn sugar calculation is from ibrew master. How much water do I dissolve the corn sugar in? 16 oz of water? Does the calculation for corn sugar look correct?

Without running it thru a calculator I'd say it sounds about right to me. I use about a cup of water give or take...

Looks good to me. :rockin:

Thanks guys, actually I needed to correct the calculation because I somehow ended up with just over 4 gallons... no idea what happened there, but after I cold settled the brew tastes fantastic.

Thanks for everyones help on this one.

That happened to me once. I had already put the priming sugar in the bottling bucket and started racking on it when I realized that I had like a gallon of trub. I only ended up with 4 gallons even though I primed enough for 5 gallons. It didn't seem to have any major effect on the carb level, and I haven't had any bottle bombs either..
