weird bottling phenomenon

Today I bottled my Newcastle clone and this is my third "real" beer. After I sanitized everything, including priming sugar, I poured the cooled sugar solution into the bottling bucket. Once I began my siphon a weird sorta fog/smokiness began to come from the bucket. The same thing happened as I actually bottled. The best way to describe it is it kinda looked like the fogginess that comes from a cold beer when you open it up to drink. Some kind of scooby doo fog stuff. Anyone have any idea if this is OK per se? Did I do something wrong? Anyone experience this before?

Probably steam/mist from the warm liquid hitting the cool bucket.

I would say that it was your beer releasing co2 as it warmed up.

lol @ scooby doo smoke.

what do you mean you "sanitized your priming sugar"??

He probably soaked it in Iodophor.



j/k. I'm sure he's referring to the boiling step where you boil the sugar in water to sanitize it and help it dissolve.
