Table sugar for priming

[dan_man]

So I need to bottle one of my batches and I'm all out of priming sugar and don't really want to drive the 45 min to the brew store. Can u use table sugar and if so how much for a 3 gal batch?

Yup, I prime exclusively with table sugar. Just find an online priming calculator that gives the option of using sucrose..

I use this calculator and never had bottle bombs.

Just input your amount of beer, the CO2 volume for the style of beer, and the max temp reached during fermentation.

Yep! Corn sugar is a waste of money.

Just follow the above linked chart. I made some mistakes of thinking corn sugar and white sugar were 1 for 1. Woops!

3.7 oz for 5 gallons on average. Adjust for style.
