5 liter keg

[brockettbrews]

I went to bottle my beer I used 3/4 of corn sugar for 5 gallons of beer. I filled a 5 liter keg, should I put more sugar in the keg or will it carbonate that way ???

I'm not really sure what you're describing here.

Did you batch prime? With 3/4 of what amount of corn sugar? When batch priming, I like to use one of the online calculators and weigh my priming sugar to accurately get the level I'm looking for to fit the style and my tastes.

If you're placing already primed beer into the 5L vessel and have the correct amount of headspace, I would think that it would carbonate just like in your bottles.

I just wanted to know if it would carbonate or should I add more sugar to the kegs

If you batch primed you should not add sugar to the kegs.

It was always my understanding that when priming in kegs you want to use about 1/2 the amount of priming sugar. So you may end up over carbonated in the keg. When I prime an entire batch in a corny keg I use about 1/3rd cup of priming sugar.

YMMV
