Festival old suffock strong ale

I'm about to start brewing the above kit and I will be short brewing it to 20 ltrs and will be kegging 12 ltrs.
Then bottling 8 ltrs in 500ml flip top bottles the kit came with 90 grams of priming sugar, how much should I add to the 8 ltrs that I'm going to be bottling to give me the correct amount of carbonation for this type of beer

I'd say you need 20/23*.4 which works out around 31grams for all the 8litres

I don't use carbonation drops much, but I have done a few times in the past. I don't like fizzy beers and I always found that 1 drop was always enough for me - irrespective of the beer type. I certainly wouldn't expect an Old Suffolk Ale to be fizzy, so I would work on the basis of 1 drop per bottle.

You will be filling 16 bottles and a carbonation drop is reckoned to contain 3.69 grams of sugar. That would say to me that you'll need 59.04 grams (let's call it 59!) for the whole 8 litres.

Happy to be corrected by those with far more experience than me!

I work to 4g / litre. So that's 32g for 16 * 500ml bottles.
