OK, getting ready to bottle my first tomorrow (and probably brew the following day again )
So its boil/simmer up the sugar, put in bottom of bottling bucket, siphon carboy to bottling bucket.
But do I stir it up? How long? Aren't i going to chance aerating the brew?
I'm figuring a nice slow stir (just before a vortex/whirlpool starts) for a minute or two?
(And has anyone found a source for the corn sugar that isn't a LHBS? I think thats one of the things that can be gotten at a better price elsewhere Though probably will go the DME route later on; works ok for bottling?)
