You worked out from the chart** that you need to prime with 6g of sugar per litre and you have a 20 litre batch to prime, then you need 20 x 6g = 120g to prime your beer with.
**You might prime with 6g of sugar per litre if you wanted to carbonate to 2.5 CO2 volumes and you estimate the warmest temperature your beer was exposed to during the fermenting stage was about 18C.
If you have a standard 23 litre batch you can also use the [url="http://aussiehomebrewer.com/gallery/image/7987-bulk-priming-for-23l-cane-sugar/"][i]Bulk Priming for 23L (cane sugar)[/i][/url] instead.
What if you're using dextrose instead?
Then you need about 5% more by weight of dextrose than sugar but really, sugar is just as good to use as dextrose.
This chart is based on values derived from the [url="http://www.aussiehomebrewing.com/AlcoholChart/PrimingCalculator.html"][i]AHB Bottle & Bulk Priming Calculator[/i][/url].
