Priming sugar

[Lsrc11]

I am almost ready to bottle I bought priming sugar but got no instructions how much sugar and water mixture for 5 gal batch

Use this site to figure out how much to use.. Go by weight, of the priming sugar, not volume...

If you do have a full 5 gallons to bottle, I have used 2/3 cup of corn sugar. I know a calculator would be more accurate, but it's pretty close. I've had no problems.

The priming sugar I bought just says priming sugar I got it from northern brewers it's a fine powder no other writing on label is it sucrose corn sugar or dextrose cane sugar I have no idea or does not matter ?

Dextrose IS corn sugar and is likely what Northern is including. I can't say for certain if it's any other type of sugar or mix but I feel pretty certain it's just simple, and inexpensive, dextrose.

Use the full 5oz that Northern gave you - will be fine. Boil it with 2 cups (16oz) of water.

If you specifically ordered priming sugar, then you got corn sugar, which is dextrose.

You didn't also order any cleanser did you?

How many different priming sugar threads did you start? And couldn't you have done this all in one thread? It's pretty confusing.
