I'm about to put my Stout from FV into a Cornelius keg, how much sugar should I use?

For a 23 litre brew in an ordinary King Keg I use 95 grams of Brewing Sugar or 100 grams of DME.

However, I always thought that the beer in Korny Kegs was carbonated by using the CO2 attachment. This giving a clear beer almost immediately without the need to wait for carbonation.

Maybe I'm wrong - it has been known! :whistle: :whistle:
 
I haven't got loads of gas, I'm using bulbs to help serve it, so I will be priming with sugar to get it carbonated

Around 70 grams for a 19L Keg will be grand from what ive read, for carbing, where the Co2 is handy on the bigger tanks you can give the tank a quick squirt before adding beer, then prime , plus expel a wee bit a few times just to make sure you only have co2 present in the keg.
How do you intend regulating say to 8 to 12psi with the small cylinder.

Don't listen to that Dutto chap after 9 lol, he will be .

Will use 70 grams this morning to keg my stout, that's the problem, I can buy a gauge to keep an eye on it, I have a s30 pin valve on the lid, also a s30 valve as well so I could buy a hambleton bard bottle
