I'm brewing a beer for my wedding (they only take bottles) and I just popped open a brew of my second batch - foam everywhere. When I talked to the guys at my LHBS, they said that I may want to stir around the suds in the bottling bucket after racking with the primary sugar at the bottom. They also mentioned that I need to top off my glass carboys when at secondary. I have a couple of questions:
1) Can I stir around the beer in the bottling bucket or am I risking more aeration?
2) I usually just use the 5 oz bag of priming sugar that can be purchased at the LHBS. Am I using too much?
3) I saw some dude online degas his bottles by prying his cap off just a bit to let some of the C02 out. Any truth to that?
