Firstly I should point out that my "secondary" is really a primary style one with a spigot and its plastic etc.
The current beer is....(2x 1.7kg Coopers Draught Cans, 0.5 lbs Crystal Grain, 1oz 8.6% @ 15min, 1oz 8.6% @ 5min).
It was in primary for 13days, and has now been in secondary for 13 days. I could leave it in for another week, but as its a plastic secondary with lots of "head space" im not sure how long is "safe".
My primary is in use, so can I bottle straight from the secondary spigot? If so, how do you stir the sugar into the beer without disturbing it too much? Iv only ever used carb drops. Is it best to mix the sugar with boiling water first?
The batch size is 20.6L (approx 5.5 gal). How many grams of sugar would I use? I don't want HUGELY carbed beer, probably slightly more then most IPA's.
Thanks
