How much priming sugar?

[25518]

Gonna be bottling 1 gal soon. Was wondering how much sugar would one recommend for priming?

I use this one: http://www.northernbrewer.com/priming-sugar-calculator/

Suggestion: Weigh your priming sugar, that is much more accurate than volume which can change significantly depending on how densely the sugar is packed into the measuring cup.

Heh, I like the calculator in my signature (but yeah, I did write it, so I'm biased).

Agree with weighing your sugar if possible. Much more accurate results.

And that was the biggest protip in the HB community.

A ton of feathers weighs the same as a ton of bricks. Weight is always better!!! :fro:

For a standard beer, if not carbing to style, the rule of thumb is 1oz/gallon of beer, to achieve 2-2.5 volumes for co2. That's why most 5 gallon kits come with 5 ounces of sugar.
