I'm making a HefeWeizen based on a extract recipe. I want to use regular sugar instead of expensive Carbonation drops but don't know how much to use.

I've got 8.5 Litres just about to be bottled/kegged. The recipe suggests two drops per bottle, but doesn't say what size of bottles!

How do i calculate the amount of priming sugar to use for a beer like this?

Here the recipe:

There's a priming sugar calculator on this site. Enter volume and the highest temperature your beer reached after fermentation was completed and it will give you how much sugar you need.
 
I didn't realise there was such a thing. Thanks Nosybear!

Good morning.
I'm a beginner at brewing but instead of priming the individual bottles, I've been bulk priming and then bottling the primed beer. I use 1 cup of dextrose to a 23 Litre batch. The carbonation appears to be right on. Hope this helps.
 
Bulk priming is an easy move , I have a few different size bottles and also makes it impossible to either prime a bottle twice or not at all
 
Force carb in a keg if you have the supplies. It's so much easier.
 
I do bulk prime but just starting out. Probably not quite ready for the expense of force carbing kit yet
 
No surplus for me. 5 gallon batches, 5 gallon keg. Every now and then I have a bit too much, and I fill a couple jars with the flat beer. My wife uses it to make pizza dough.

Of course! Would make great pancakes too.

I tried to use this for a couple of bottles and my scales wouldn`t weigh that small amount so I got out the reloading scale and converted to grains. Got me thinking I should experiment with this and be able to carbonate with extreme accuracy. Will have to work out a plan.
 
Fresh from the secondary. ;)
 
I have a friend who likes my coffee porter with pancakes and sausage for breakfast.
