When I started brewing, I have kegged all of my beer. I now want to
bottle about 12 to 18 beers of each batch and keg the balance. With my receipes, I get the corn sugar for bottling. I know if I bottle all
the beer, I put all of the corn sugar in the carboy and then bottle the
beer.
My question is - If I only want to bottle some of the beer, how much
corn sugar should I put in each bottle before adding the beer?
Thanks for any help in this matter - I have around 15 bags of corn
sugar from previous batches that all went into the keg.

I use a level teaspoon of castor sugar for 750ml bottles and a slightly-heaped half teaspoon for the 500ml ones.Some people warn that
this can impart a 'cidery' taste to the beer but that's never been my experience.
Pellets may be a bit more accurate quantity-wise but are not very
economical in the short or long run.

I only bottle, and would advise against adding sugar to the bottles, if
you get too much they burst.
The better way to do it would be to take a sauce pan and put about 1/8th
cup of sugar and a cup of water to the boil, and after all sugar is
dissolved ad the entire amount to the amount of beer you want to bottle
and stir gently before bottling. Papazian covers this nicely in his book.
Cheers
