The problem was containing it to just that first drink. Hahaa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use a small funnel that fits in the bottles otherwise I would have sugar all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have 3 sizes but they DO have the cutout, (which gives you the measure and the funnel in one) so you fill to the bottom of the cutout for the right measure then tip the long side to the neck of the bottle. At worst you may be a bit too enthusiastic and get a little sugar on the lip of the bottle but to spill it over the bench/floor you'd have to be pretty incompetent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Micky Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Okay, just bulk primed and added my sugar to the brew and stuffed up and disturbed the trub. It's got awful cloudy. How long can I wait for it to settle before I'd need to start bottling because I've added the sugar. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should bottle now as the priming with sugar is to create CO2 in the bottle. If you leave it, your CO2 will just go into the air and you will have flat beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicksaway Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 This is a great post with plenty of advice for newbies like me i didn’t even think of sanitising my tap after doing gravity samples during my first brew, I will definitely be doing when I star my secon brew in a few days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
