How much Cane Sugar to use for primng?

[Orrin1988]

I am stuck... I am about to bottle 5 gallons of English pale ale and I can't figure out how much to use for priming...

I am going for 1.5 volumes of C02, but I can't tell if I am reading this priming sugar calculator I have handy... Its telling me to use less than an ounce of cane sugar to prime 5 gallons? What?

It is going to bottle condition at about 70 degrees F...

Anyone have an idea on how much cane sugar I should use to achieve C02 volume of 1.5 and does anyone know what I am doing wrong on that calculator? Should I be putting temperatures that I will beserving the beer at as opposed to condtiioning?

I'm not an expert on that style, but 1.5 volumes sounds too low to me. Plug in 2.5 Volumes and see what you come up with. My guess is between 4-4.5ozs. GL

Yip, 1.5 volumes are going to be disapointing!!! for 5 gallons, less would be like 80g and more +/- 115g, i normaly just eyeball it @ 100g or so!
