Face the east. Raise the cauldron of priming sugar which you have already boiled in a small amount of water.
Intone thusly: "Hear me, beer gods, for I am about to rack the sacred libation!"
[check the spigot]
"Verily, the spigot of the dispensation is closed, even unto the CLOSED position. I have checked it once, twice, thrice!"
[pour priming liquid into bottom of bucket]
"I cover the bottom of my bucket chakra with the prime, as it has been written. I have the knowing, I have read the holy forum. Honor my desires."
[siphon the beer onto the priming liquid]
"Flow! Flow quickly and without aeration! Release a protecitve shroud of CO2 that will protect us from the evils of oxidation!"
[put the lid on the bottling bucket]
"I have sealed you off in a sanitary vessel from the perils of the air, the birds of the sky, and the wandering junebugs."
Well, at that's how we do it where I live. Stop looking at me so funny.
I think it is important for the beginner to do a dry run in ceremonial gear before trying this with real beer. You don't want to run a bucketfull by dragging the hem of your robe through it. The old goat's blood on the hem would certainly contaminate the beer.
