sugar differences barrel and bottle

[midweb]

I have just finished bottling my second brew, but think I may have used to much sugar.
The first brew I barrelled was samsons traditional bitter it said add 75gr or 3oz of sugar to the barrel,
the second was cooper ale and it stated prime bottles at 8gr per litre wich for 25litres is 200 grms.
wich is more than twice as much for the barreling method is this right.

if you are kegging your beer I wouldn't put more than 85 grams of sugar in but if you are bottling coopers I would stick to what they reccomend as coopers kits need more sugar if you are putting it in bottles to make sure you get a good head.
