Priming with honey in a keg

[cfonnes]

I would like to rack to a keg, and prime it so that it is ready when I get back home in a month. I have honey in the cupboard can I use it to prime?

How much honey would I need to prime 5 gallons in a keg to 2.4 volumes?

I used 4.8 oz (wt) of honey. Heated it with 2 cups of water on the stove, (didn't boil). When you add the concoction to your bottling bucket you'll have to stir pretty well...(but gently of course), or it'll all settle to the bottom..... Worked out great.

Dang...got beat to one of my own answers...lol. I've never done it in a keg but should work out the same. Here's a neat calculator that lets you change your priming sugars. Just use the bottling option instead of kegging and use that answer.
