Bulk priming

[MT09NOV94]

Hello I usually just add sugar and carbonation drops to each individual bottle once beer has fermented and I’ve done a final gravity check. This will be my first time bulk priming. I was wondering if once I transferred my beer into second fermenter with the added sugar if I could leave it in there up to two weeks before bottling. Thanks

I would say that will give you a bump in abv, but won't do anything for priming. Logically it seems like the yeast will consume all the available "priming sugar" during the 2 weeks in secondary fermenter and then you'd have nothing left for priming the bottles.

Personally, I'd leave the beer in primary fermenter until I was ready to bottle, then transfer to my bottling bucket, add the priming sugar, and bottle.

Cheers!
