How much table sugar should I use per 40 ounce bottle for bottle conditioning?

https://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/

In short:
Use 0.29 oz of table sugar (= 2 level teaspoons) for each 40 oz bottle of beer to get 2.5 volumes of carbonation (American ale).

Here's another ongoing thread on sugar doping individual bottles:

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/adding-priming-sugar-directly-to-bottle.671375/
There are some very good pointers in there.
My favorite ones are:

• Using a scale precise enough to measure small amounts (grams or better yet, 0.1 grams), or
• In lieu of a small/precise enough scale, making a sugar solution for the whole batch, and dope each bottle with a graduated syringe

It takes about 3 weeks to carbonate at room temps around 68-72F. The colder, the longer it takes, especially if it's too cold.
After they're carbonated, 1-3 days in the fridge before opening and drinking makes it better. But you can always sneak one out.

As IslandLizard said it takes time. But I batch prime so I don't really know how much sugar. But a quick look shows about a half teaspoon per bottle. I think these are bottle bombs in the making.. Put all the bottles in a strong bin then check one at one week and another a couple days later. When they spew beer all over the place put all of them in the refrigerator and be very careful handling them. The bottles could explode.....
