Priming Chart

Whenever I first began homebrewing I had a tough time fiquring out how much dextrose to use in priming my beer. After quite a few trials and errors (mostly errors) I did settle on 1.2 ounces per gallon of beer to be primed. If I had a 3 gallon batch, then I would need 3.6 ounces (1.2 x 3). I found this chart in The Homebrewer's Companion for different types of primers and how much to use.

Dextrose 3/4 cup
