Im brewing my first time homebrew and i have a question about priming sugar.
I have a batch of Munton's Irish Stout fermenting and its almost time to bottle, but im stuck on the amount of sugar to put into the beer for bottling.
The muntons calls for six gallons of water for their mix. But all the resources ive been able to find have amounts of sugar for 5 gallon brews, 3/4 a cup.
So my question is does anyone know how much sugar i should use? The directions say to add half a teaspoon to each pint bottle, but i have irregular sized bottles. Some are pints some are standard 12oz. and i have a few 1 liter grolsch bottles. My intentions were to mix the sugar with some water and boil it and then add it to the beer and then bottle it, but im not sure how much to use for six gallons.
Any help or tips would be very appreciated. This site has been very helpfull during my first time brew process.
THANKS!
