Hi Brewers,
I am looking to bottle my first brew next weekend. It will have been in the primary fermentor for three weeks by then. I was thinking of just siphoning straight into bottles using a racking cane, and putting one PrimeTab into each 500ml bottle.
I have heard that it can be good to rack the beer into a secondary fermentor/bottling bucket (and use sugar solution in that) but as I do not have that equipment yet, will I be okay without? I was thinking of just being careful not to siphon the trub out.
Any pointers most appreciated!
