gravity of priming sugar

[Machiavelli]

Anyone know the gravity of a regular pack of priming sugar?

I bottled my Trappist Tripel tonight and got ahead of myself. Took the gravity after I added the sugar. It was right at .02

1 week in primary
3 weeks in secondary

.........shoulda been okay to go, im hoping.

Thx

Depends on how big the pack is. AHS are 4.5oz, B3's are 4, some are 5, some are 6. But dextrose is 37 ppg.

I have my first trappist tripel in secondary right now. One week in primary about to be two weeks in seconndary. O.G 1.074 when transfered to secondary 1.021 and was holding steady, checked yesterday 1.017 and today 1.015. How long is usaul for this strain? by the way it was the Wyeast slap pack if that makes a different. Would like to bottle soon but wondering how long it will take for fermentation to end?
Yes there are several questions in there, if you can just pick one

Thanks for the reply.

I used the AHS bag.

I'm still learning. What does 37 ppg translate too? I mean, if you added a bag of AHS priming sugar to 5 gallons of water.....about what would your gravity be?

Thanks!

37 x ( 4.5 / 16 )
------------------ = 2.08125 gravity points (~1.002)
5

I believe dextrose is ~ 46 ppg, not 37. I've been known to be wrong before though.

Any citation to the figures above? I'm seeing dextrose ppg values around the forums (and elsewhere on the webz) anywhere between 36 and 46.

Let's find out.

1oz dextrose.
1c water (64ºF).

Looks like 1.037 to me.
