How much corn sugar for priming?

[betelgeuse4721]

Hey everybody,

I have 2.5 gallons (half-batch) of a cream stout that is almost ready to bottle.

How much corn starch do you think I need for this kind/amount of beer?

In cups please.

Thanks,
Brady

Hey BTW, those numbers are calculated using a bottling and storing temperature of 72 degrees (F)

tastybrew.com has a great calculator for this (and lots of other stuff too). Also, use corn sugar, not corn starch.
