Carbing Belgian Pale Ale to Style

[kcpup]

Last night I brewed a PM recipe similar to this on HBT:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/belgian-pale-ale-117569/

The actual recipe I used was the mini-mash version of the Yellow Diamond Belgian Pale Ale recipe from Mosher's book, Radical Brewing. I do not keg, so it will be bottle conditioned when its time.

Do I use the standard priming sugar at 4.5 oz (which is all I've done thus far for my beers)? This is the first Belgian I've attempted to brew.

I do not clearly understand Mosher's advice on carbonation levels for Belgians in his book. I have Rajotte's Belgian Ale book, but frankly I'm not experienced enough to understand much of his content.

I went to this link after a search of HBT threads yielded this reference:
http://byo.com/resources/carbonation

Is the link above the route I need to take re: carbing this Belgian Pale Ale to style? I've got a lot of Belgians on deck for brewing. I'm willing to spend some extra time to get it right, and learn some more about this fascinating hobby.

I appreciate any thoughts ya'll have.

here is an easy tool that tells you how much sugar you need to bottle based on the style, temperature, and method of carbonating

Thanks, Beerpressure. My mind can handle this chart. This helps a lot.

Carbonation on belgian pale ales are comparable to american ales so whatever you normally use is probably in the ballpark. Most belgian ales are more highly carbonated but not the pale.

Thanks, remilard. I don't think I've had a Belgian pale ale before. Had lots of Belgians but not a pale.

The pale looked to be a lower abv Belgian than other options. I thought I'd go that route on my first try. I did that in case I messed it up, I would not squander as much money.

Thank you for the guidance. It will help my first Belgian brew be more successful!
