So...... I'm brewing an APA - 19L @ 18 degrees, I expect to loose maybe 0.5-1l in dry hoping and trub etc.
How much priming sugar should I use (table sugar) - looking at http://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/
and inputting 18L, 18degrees and 2.2volumes gives me 92.5g of Sugar - does that sound about right for this style of beer?
Reason is I have bottled a few beers and so far they are either over or under carbed! I really want this one to be correct!!!!
 
Id go for 2.5 Vols. That's 117g of cane sugar or 133 dextrose or 6.5g pl of cane or 7.4gpl of dextrose
 
Yea, 92 seems a tad too low. But then again, that's about 5 grams a liter. On your bottling memo, you should keep track of that. It'll let you narrow in on how you like it. I like 5 grams per liter but I use corn sugar. It's a lot lighter so the quantity looks massive!!
