Safe amount of priming sugar

[Beerbuddha]

I like my beers with plenty of bubbles so question is what is the highest level at which you can prime a 5 gallon batch without having to worry about bottles exploding ?

Look at weizen carbing levels.

Check out some of the priming calculators online, this one for example:

cheers will have good look at them. 6 oz in last batch and fridge stacked high kinda thinking last thing i need is bottle ready to blow at head height level in fermenting fridge. Cheers for replies

Depends on your bottles. Ive carbed a hefe using 240g in 24 litres to achieve somewhere between 3 and 3.5 vols CO2.
See thread http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/hefeweizen-co2-volume-argument-224163/index7.html my first post is no 62. I carb my hefes to about 3 vols now and I like them like that

when i want 'fizzy' i go for 8 grams of dextrose per liter

[LordEoin]

8g/l is the rate recommended for carb drops
I find it too fizzy for most beers, but I'v rarely have any gushers.
6 grams per liter would be my favourite rate for most ales, but then again i do like a bit of carbonation.

Yep, I generally use 5 or 6 grams sugar per litre for ales. I'm just about to bottle some stout; is 4 grams/litre too low?

You guys must all love fizzy beer! I've just primed a stout with 1g/l table sugar.

Wow that's low, I'd usually target a stout at or below 2vols CO2, using as little as 85g sugar in 20litres

[Eoin]

I'd be at about 85-100g for most styles I like.

I find the beer also looks better with lots c02 ans gives a good head

[LordEoin]

Well, if you like head.... [insert random dirty joke here] or add some carapils or crystal
