What type & how much sugar?

[Robd]

Im ready to bottle my "Woodfords Admirals Reserve" kit but just wondered if i can use normal sugar? Also i read somewhere to put 1/2 a tea spoon in each bottle but im thinking it might be better to mix the sugar with the siphoned beer in another fv ? At least i can make sure its properly mixed in and less fidley but how much weight of sugar will i need for 18 litres?

Thanks Rob.

Use normal sugar. If your using 1/2 tsp(2.5g) x 18litres(36 500ml bottles) = 90g but you can do it at 5g per litre depends how fizzy you want it.

3-4g per litre would be better IMHO. :thumb:
