Priming

[Critter1984]

I am preparing to bottle a 3 gallon batch of Saison and I am unsure of the amount of corn sugar to use for priming. Based on the amount I used in my previous 5 gallon batch I am estimating 6-7 tablespoons. Does this sound correct? Do I need to make any considerations based on this style? Any advice is most appreciated.

3/8th's cups (I think you are on target with 6/7tbls)

You should be basing your priming on volume of beer in your bottling bucket, the highest temp the beer got to after fermentation ended, and the style. Go here for a good carbonation calculator.

also you should base your priming on weight not volume. you can fit significantly more sugar in a measuring cup if you compress it.

Thank you. Very helpful link.

oh... the values you get out of that calculator are by weight not volume.
