You have to keep in mind that regular 'run of the mill' creatine isn't the best when it comes to absorbtion. I'm sure you heard that it isn't very stable in liquid. It converts rapidly to creatinine which is about as useful as chalk. So if you mix it in with, say, grape juice and drink it, it has started converting to creatinine already. Ingesting 10 grams postworkout is standard. I do it to guarantee I get the most creatine I can uploaded before this process destroys it. Alot of books I've read say to take 5 grams pre and another 5 grams post. I like 10 grams post because my body's environment is ideal for absorbtion.
