Others will probably be able to help you but in the meantime it would help if you give as much info as you can about the style of beer, (to see what CO2 Volumes would suit) the volume of the wort you wish to bulk prime etc. If of course that's what you're doing. There are differences between each of the priming sugars we use to prime so you'd also need to make the necessary adjustments. Am I reading it right - that you want to decant your wort from its primary FV to a secondary vessel to bulk prime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Around about 180g of White Sugar, depending on taste and how much Froth you like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect you would enjoy them very much, mind you there a few on here that would say it will be OK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozdevil Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 @waddo 1 have alook on brewers friends they can do the calculations for you to how much sugar you need to bulk prime with and priming sugar options I think most guys depending on what they are brewing and for ales they are looking around 2.0-2.7 volumes of co2 over 20°c which will be around 170grams of table sugar some may go to 180grams but have a look at the Priming calculator https://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
