Important Priming Question- Need Help!

[thatbeerguy]

Hello all,

I've just made a batch of Muton's Export Stout (6 gal US). I'm trying to find out the amount of sucrose(in grams) I'll need to prime before I bottle in 10 days. Please Help.

Thank you for your advice and patience from a new home brewer

The rule of thumb for priming most beers (not talking about carbing to style) to 2-2.5 volumes of co2, is 1 ounce (28 grams) of corn sugar/gallon of beer.

Thanks guys. The Munton's instructions were a little confusing for me. I usually prime the bottling bucket but they said to prime per pint. A lot of good that does- I don't use pint bottles, only 12oz ones.
