From the minikeg thread - Now people can get pickie here when it comes to how much to prime with sugar and in my case I brew lagers ALOT and iv found without weighing or being scientific that a heaped measured Tea spoon gives me spot on carbination everytime. But that's me.
Not sure how much CO2 Rob liked to use with his party star tap. It didn't seem like much to me...
Later in the thread....

Multiplying what I use up would be 10 tea spoons (Carol Vorderman here!), or around 40g which, as I understand is way too much as the kegs can't hold as much pressure as bottles. So I added 12g (around 3 tea spoons).
I do lagers and I put 3 heaped measured tea spoons in. I get good results
