I have been browsing around and have two quick questions about bottling...
1. Is it ok to use a five gallon bucket to mix the beer with the priming sugar? They sell buckets for this but they are 20 bucks vs 5 or so, just wondering if a regular new white 5 gallon bucket is ok if I sanitize it.
2. What is an easy way to tell if you have finished carbonation? Can you see the bubbles in the bottles like you can in the carboy and just wait for them to stop or how do you tell?
Thanks
