Hello,
I am on my first batch of beer and have a few questions. I am making Coopers Cerveza. Today is the day that the directions say to bottle it. I am thinking of doing a secondary fermentation mostly just to ad a little clarity to the beer. The directions say to bottle the beer, add sugar, and let the bottles sit for 2 weeks. Does that mean that I could put the beer in the secondary fermenter for two weeks, add the sugar for carbonation there, then have it finished when I bottle? Also, can I just use corn sugar for carbonation? That is the sugar I used for primary fermentation.
Thanks a lot!
