Priming sugar. How much?

[coops]

Evening all. I'm about to keg my 1st AG Which was Jims ESB. Only made 19 litres in all and have only managed to get it down to 1016 from 1056 after 3 weeks in the fermentation fridge. It's been cold crashing since Saturday and has cleared brilliantly and already has a great taste.

Question is how much priming sugar do I need? It's going into a King Keg bottom tap. I have always done kits and the priming sugar has been with the kit!

Thanks in advance for your replies

Personally I would go for around 50g. There are bound to be some others who have greater knowledge and may be able to give a more exact figure. Sound like a nice beer anyway!

It works well. To make it easy I work on 2 to 5g per litre depending on the style as the calculator predicts. For your ESB I would say 2g/l would be more than sufficient.

I used 50g in the end. Using the calculator it came out at 48g of dextrose. Cheers for the help beer is sat conditioning now and not to be touched till Xmas day
