How much priming sugar for a RIS

[Newton]

I have a 10% abv RIS that has been sitting in secondary for about 6 weeks, for a total fermentation time of 9 weeks. I plan on bottling it tonight and keeping the bottles at 70 F for 3 weeks and then cellaring.


My volume is right on 5 gallons. I'm going to use corn sugar for priming. How much, by volume, would you recommend adding? I was thinking 2/3 of a cup, but I've never tried to bottle condition a beer this big...so I'm in new territory here. Any tips?

I would go low for a Russian Imperial Stout. like 3oz/5gal to about .45cups/5gal.

Beersmith says between 2.39oz and 4.75oz
