Bob i put a 1kg bag of brewing sugar in my barrel (23 litres) then 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar per 500ml bottle for secondary fermentation.

I used to put 2oz in the barrel before adding the beer just for secondary fermentation. I haven't done any for ages but I might have to get my barrels out ready for Christmas. The kilo went in the first ferment which I used to do in a plastic bucket.

I'm drinking my Wherry now and it's lovely. I add 3oz glucose to each 5 gallon barrel.
