I'm using Northern Brewer's British Bitter Kit, and the instructions call for 2/3 cup of dextrose to prime 5 gallons. That sounded like a lot to me. So I put the style of beer into their own priming sugar calculator it tells you to use 1/4 cup... how can the instructions be overshooting by 267%?
Are they just assuming most North Americans won't like the lower-carbed Bitter style and compensating? Or is it just laziness in not adjusting the kit instructions to the style?
EDIT: I will be priming by weight, I was just comparing the instructions to the calculator.
