Bottling directly from a conical

[Surly]

I have a conical with 15.5 gallons of beer. It has a racking arm that I can attach a bottling wand.

I usually use two carb tabs to a 12oz bottle to carb a few bottles for gifts, parties etc.

Must transfer beer to some kegs but would like to bottle a couple of cases or, 24 bottles and change.

I live in a rural area and my local shop is out of carb tabs. Therefore, I need to use the corn sugar I have on hand. What kind of mixture can I boil up and then amount to dispense to each bottle?

BTW - I did do a search and found threads back to 06. Thought maybe I would modernize a bit.

If you dissolve the primer, how are you going to dose the bottles?
Seems trickier than just dropping 3/4 teaspoon of CS in each bottle, then fill and cap...

Cheers!

I would like to know how much Cane Sugar in how much water to provide the correct medium to carbonate a 12 oz bottle. I want to carbonate 24 bottles of an ale.

Why not prime the whole batch, bottle what you want, then keg the rest and let it carbonate in the keg?

You can use this calculator for the amount of sugar to dissolve in hot water for the volume in 24 bottles. I use 4.2 to 5.2 ounces of corn sugar for 48 to 50 bottles. Amount depends on how much carbonation for the style I'm bottling. You will most likely need a small syringe marked in tenths of a milliliter to add to each bottle before filling.
