Rev I found that method worked well after I attempted putting a bit of sugar in a bottle to prime...It was after 3 bottles i decided to liquify this sugar and add to the bottling bucket still capped off every bottle including the sugar ones..later i wanted to see the difference It seemed the liquified priming sugar was the better method the carbonation is there. The result was more to my liking...will work next on the steeping of additional grains in the 3rd batch..not much can be done on batch number two it finished bubbling two days ago

Hey "Olt", Which one is #2? I have an idea if it's the one with a cup and 1/2 of syrup. You guys are right about mixing the sugar in the bucket. I could sure save a lot of grief and more than one way.....YESSSS INDEED...It's the way to go, for sure. I'm just kinda stuck where I'm at right now and it's not by choice. I see "REV" has a container problem too. By the way, I can't answer PM's. Something wrong with my computer. I hope you understand. My comp is new and it has a couple of glitches. Hope to sort them out. Think it was a program I added last week. DIVx
Bought a new beer at the carry-out today. It's called "Flat Tire". Has a cool picture on the bottle of an old Schwinn bike sporting a springer front end. Think that's what sold me. At $4.95 for a 22oz., I bet they don't sell very many. Does have a good flavor to it and 5.2%. I'm in the wrong biz.
Even if my brewing skill never get any better, I have managed to to double the population of beer bugs in the house. I wouldn't mind em but they want to kiss me on the lips and drink my beer. Have an X-Wife that'll do that.

does one think a saison beer style could be made from Premier Malt or a stout?

#2? my second batch is a bit different instead of 1.5 cups of corn syrup I added 1.5 pounds of dark brown sugar and two cans of malt extract..., The 1st batch i ever made was one can of premier malt extract light ( but hopped) with 1.5 cups of corn syrup...not brought to boil added to water for a total of 4 gallons....it made a nice brew this second batch going is very much different.

Oh...That one. You're on you're own there, #2. Well...I just had a sudden streak of
enlightenment. Didn't see what you two guys were trying to tell me. Duhhh... If the volume of the sugar is one size in a 12oz. bottle, it will be the same size (volume) in a 32oz. if the sugar level remains the same. That is if I mix it in a bucket, like you said. It's amazing how things come about clear as mud sometimes. I thank you both for helping me out. Couldn't have done it without you two. That's funny. Got to laugh at myself.

Update on my 2.5 gallon batch--one week into primary and the airlock has almost stopped and the yeast is starting to flocculate. Looks like it's going to be a nice color and the aroma is really nice. Couldn't help it--had to sneak a taste. From what I could taste around all the live yeast I think it's going to be a pretty drinkable brew. I think I'm going to have about $12 in the batch and get about 24 bottles. About what I'd give for a case of the pale yellow stuff, EXCEPT it will taste better AND I made it myself!

sounds like your 24 bottle will be quite nice... Looks like today is bottling day...going to add the prime and go from there will be interesting...have 5 gallons to bottle up and let sit for another two weeks.... gees that is going to be rough....Do have a question...Curious as to use a pure dark molasses as the priming sugar...has anyone done this where they prime with a solution of beer and dark molasses? The intent is to have a darker beer and the Molasses should complement the beer well. just curious.
