Hi Foley,
When I used to bottle - I used to use about 130g per 23 litre batch.
I mainly brewed ales and stouts - I dont think this level was high on the carbonation scale.
I used dextrose.

PS: you might get a better response if you post in the "brewing " section - this is the for sale section.

130g is a bit high I'd say. I use about 95g tops

Between 80 and 100g for me mostly when I bottle, which is rare now. But I do use that carbonation calculator linked above
