batch priming
how long to leave after adding sugar before placing into bottles

5-10 mins for me with no stirring

About as long as it takes to get everything ready to bottle. If you do stir, do it gently so as not to introduce any air.

I rack onto the cooled boiled sugar into my bottling FV,as soon as i have everything sorted i bottle.
Doesn't matter if you have to leave it for a while however:thumb:

Half teaspoon in each bottle , cap immediately

This depends on what your bottling, a level teaspoon per 500ml for lager , bitter IPA etc half to three quarters teaspoon for stout, half teaspoon will leave you under carbonated on some beers depends on how you like your beer personally i like a nice lasting head , hence using spray malt in light to amber beers and dark spray malt and lactose in brown ales and stouts and follow the above stated carbonation amounts.:thumb:

I transfer onto the sugar solution in the bottling keg to mix it on thoroughly, then leave it around half an hour for any solids that may have snook in to settle. Usually about the time it takes to get the bottles ready!

When my beer is ready i want to store it in mini kegs and bottles. My question is how much sugar do i add to batch prime both together. Or should i do two batches one for kegs and one for bottles?

No a single batch prime will be ok for both, dont forget to release the pressure when pouring from a mini keg

The kegs can handle less pressure than a bottle so it depends on the style I'd say. Fizzier beers i'd prime separately and keep the kegs to a max of 20g sugar.

I don't bother batch priming the mini kegs, it's easy enough to just chuck the sugar in each, fill them from the fv and then transfer the rest of the batch in to the bottling bucket.
