Priming Sugar

[littlebu]

I can't believe it's been four weeks already since I made my first brew. I'm getting ready to bottle and I threw away my directions. So the question, when adding the sugar I first need to boil a cup of water and disolve the sugar in the water then pour into bottling bucket give a swirl and bottle? Is that the correct sequence? Thanks for answering the newb question. Now I can't wait for the next two weeks to pass to try out my first brew.

Well, you let the priming solution cool a bit, then add it to the bucket and rack on top of it, and that will swirl the solutions together. But you pretty much have the gist of it.

Try as best you can to be patient; I have found that my brews taste more than twice as good at four weeks than at two. Now, I'm not saying that relationship holds indefinitely...but prepare to be disappointed if you drink after two weeks!

My plan is to crack one open in two weeks and see if it is carbd enough and go from there much of it will not get drank until around the four week mark anyway as my wife doen't like red ale's
