Wow guys, I am amazed at how much sugar you put in per bottle! What are you aiming for in terms of carbonation levels?
I typically batch prime around 20 litres of beer with approximately 27 gms of table sugar to 1.2 volumes of CO2 for a standard pale ale, slightly more for a Belgian.
I don’t enjoy fizzy beer.
when I batch primed I used up to 160g per 21 liters. generally about 120g for the beers I brew. However when I bottle at a high FG or a bit early I reduce the amount of sugar to prime... down to 50g on occasions. I now make up priming solution separately so I can alter the priming amount per bottle as required

Below is my Kviek ipa it has an FG of 1.011 and was primed with the equivalent of 160g in 21 litres using a syringe to individually bottle prime the beers. for 1 of the 2 crates I reduced the amount primed as they would get too lively by the time I get through them.
