Deception Cream Stout Bottling; how much sugar?

[birdley123]

Im getting ready to bottle my DC Stout thats been in primary for five weeks, how much sugar/water should I use? I do not want to repeat the last nightmare with all foam, overcarbed, blah, blah..

Can anyone give me some advice please?

Thx!

Use the link in my sig for the priming sugar calculator. Boil the sugar in a cup or two of water, and you'll be golden.

Most stouts do nice with around 2.2-2.3 volumes of CO2. I've seen some as low as 1.8 volumes, as high as 2.5.
