I made a bag of "beer machine" mixture for a friend of mine. I made it a bit watered down ,and I made it in a regular fermenting tank (not the beer machine). Well it will soon be ready to bottle,,how much table sugar should I add for low carbonation?
how much cane sugar to prime with?

"Can table sugar be used for priming?"
Yes.
"Is it better or worse than priming sugar?"
It produces exactly the same results.
"Is there a different ratio of table sugar that is used (instead of priming sugar)?"
Yes, you need slightly less table sugar to produce the same amount of carbonation.
You will need to use 5% less table sugar than priming sugar by weight.
