Hi,
I bottled a batch of imperial IPA last night and added 2/3 cup of priming sugar (pre-boiled in water) to my bottling bucket. I use paint strainer bags as a lining to filter out hops debris and stuff. The beer siphoned smoothly into the bucket but I'm worried that the paint strainer bag might have blocked the swirling action that helps mix the priming sugar. I usually mix with a large spoon before I start to bottle after I take the paint strainer bag out. Anyway, you know the last bit at the bottom that won't fill a bottle? I usually drink it. And this last bit tasted VERY sweet. Maybe its just some of the priming sugar that settled but Im afraid it didn't mix well. Will I have any problems?
