Centennial Blonde priming Q

[iswenson]

Hello,

I am about to bottle a centennial blonde, priming w/ table sugar. I do not have a scale to measure the sugar by weight. What would be the suggested volume, in cups, for this beer?

Thanks

Don't think you really want to use table sugar there... Unless it's actually corn sugar (glucose/dextrose), or cane sugar (sucrose)...

I've always measured priming sugars by weight... So I won't be able to tell you how much of a cup to use (think the range is normally 1/2-3/4 cup though)... It also depends on what temperature your wort was fermenting at (wort temp, not air temp)...

fermented @ 64 F

I have read on this forum that there is no ill effects from priming with table sugar. I am unsure whether there needs to be more / less table sugar vs. corn sugar.

anybody have a number of cups of table sugar for this blonde ale?

I guess I will ask this in a different way.

what is the suggested volumes of CO2 for a blonde ale.

Thank you. Just in case anyone is wondering:

1 cup granulated (table) sugar = 7.02 oz (ref Domino Sugar)
