How much sugar to use when fermenting?!?

[bluphil52]

I'm just going to rack off my wort into a barrel. After 4 weeks being in a the fermenter bin.
I have roughly 22 litres of wort. How much sugar do I need to put into the barrel first?

Well I am guessing that you mean your legging and we need to know what style of beer it is as they are carved to different levels.

Use about 4.8 ounces of corn sugar dissolved in two cups of boiled water for average US carbonation.

Short answer, up to 5 oz for 5 gallons.

Real answer,
1. Look up style you are brewing and determine appropriate carb level.
2. Use an online calculator to determine appropriate sugar based on carb atomspheres desired and beer pre bottle temp.

I use this one:
