I will be bottling my 5th brew later today and I have a question about the distribution of the sugar in the bottling bucket.
It seems like some of my bottles are more carbonated than others and I wonder if I am getting the sugar evenly mixed up in the wort. I dissolve the sugar in a pint of water I have boiled and pour it into the bottom of the bucket. I then rack my wort into the bucket - then bottle.
I was wondering if it is OK to stir the mixture? I did a search but it seemed like there were two schools of thought on this. I thought I had read that it was bad to stir the wort after fermentation.
So...is it OK to the beer before bottling without harming it?
