Went for 1tsp cane sugar per pint for the bottles. The rest went into a corny, so that's set at 30psi at present - it should be quite high in carbonation and it helps getting the great head on the beer.

That's about 3g per bottle?

About 3.5-4g I think. It gives about 2 Vols in addition to the ~1.3Vols left as residual CO2 (since I crash cooled it prior to racking).

Finished product - needs a bit more time to up the carbonation, and I think I need a better way of dispensing than a party tap, but not too bad at all.
