4 heaped spoonfuls?? That's what 20g? Unless you're loading your creatine for the first time in a while (it takes a month to get out of your system completely) I wouldn't bother, just 5g a day is enough (1 teaspoon).

Here's two loading protocols:

5g a day for a month (take it pre or post workout, on off days just in the morning)

or

20-25g a day for 4-5 days (loading phase) then 5g a day thereafter (maintenance)

Hope this helps mate
