Somebody talk to me about adding 1/2 tsp. of priming sugar to each empty bottle, skipping the bottling bucket step.

The problem is it's tough to get exactly the right amount of sugar in each bottle. A little less and they are flat, a little too much and they blow up. Also, boiling the sugar sanitizes it....but I doubt you'll get much of an infection risk from unboiled sugar. The real reason you don't do it is inconsistent results.
I understand all of that. I've made probably 20 batches by now using that method. Seems like 10 or so out of each batch has no head. About the equal number or so has so much head I can't pour it and rest of the batch is fine.
