Because I had the brilliant idea of using my bottling bucket as a primary for another batch, I now need to bottle a batch directly from a glass carboy.
I just need some of you wise brewers to go over my procedure to make sure this will work well... everything sanitized, of course...
1. After boiling and cooling the priming sugar, pour carefully into the carboy, stirring it gently with the racking cane. This will also whirlpool the yeast.
2. Let the carboy settle for an hour. The yeast should settle into a pile in the middle.
3. Use the auto-siphon to bottle, keeping the bottom tip of the cane in the 'corner' of the carboy, to minimize yeast in the bottles...
Sound about right?
THANKS!
