This chart provides priming sugar amounts based on carbonation targets, assuming:

  * 200 mL total priming syrup per 20 L batch
  * 10 mL syrup per 1 L PET bottle
  * Bottling temperature: ~20°C (room temp)
  * Sugar type: **Sucrose (table sugar)**

===== Notes =====
  * Use boiled and cooled water to prepare syrup for sanitation.
  * PET bottles will show firmness as carbonation develops—use squeeze test to monitor.
  * Discard PET bottles that appear damaged, cloudy, or soft even when full.
  * If using **dextrose** instead, increase weights by ~15%.
  * Store bottles in a covered container or box during carbonation for safety.
