How much priming sugar for a lager?

[TheLastSuppa]

I usually use about 80g of dextrose to prime a five gallon brew of ale (2g/pint), but how much do you guys use for lagers?

I use about that for Bitters but used 150 grams for my last Lager and its seems just about right

It depends what temperature your brew is at at the time of bottling. The lower the temperature, the more CO2 is dissolved and suspended in the beer. Therefore, you will need to add less priming sugar than a brew at a higher temperature to achieve the correct carbonation level. The following link will help you calculate priming sugar:
