Need help with my stout

[momodig]

I have 12-13L in my carboy that is ready to be bottle. I'm curious how much to sugar to add. My local brew store says 2/3 cups... but I think that is to much for a stout? Heck I made 48 bottles of regular beer and used 1 cup of sugar...

Thanks

2.25-2.5 oz of sugar should should give you around 2.2 volumes for 12-13 L. you are better off weighing the sugar than measuring.

I don't have scale... how may cups is that defenstrate? 1/3? 1/4 -- i'll try to pick up a scale

2.5 oz is just under 1/3 cup, so if you go a little less than that it should work out for you. make sure you give it a full 3 weeks at close to 70 degrees to carb up and balance out.
