Hello all.

So I'm getting ready to bottle a batch. I put the batch in a secondary two weeks ago and.... Well, long story short, I ended up with 4 gallons. How much priming sugar do I want to use? Will the normal 3/4 cup corn sugar be to much and give me bottle bombs? Sorry, I'd normally research before posting but I'm bottling tomorrow And just now thought of this.

Thanks.
 
There is online calculators for your priming sugar. You just enter the volume of the beer, temp that fermente or sat at a considerable period (to know how much residual co2 you have in solution) An what is your desire co2 volume,

And those are just google´s first 4 options,

You are not getting bottlebombs for using the same amount of sugar than 4 gallons, but depending on what you brewed it can be overcarbed and out of style.
