This weekend I will be bottling my first batch. I have an auto-siphon...based on what I hear, this should be pretty easy to operate. Ive been thinking about a couple questions that I've listed below.....
1) In my primary, should i drop the tip of the auto-siphon allll the way down to the bottom of the bucket? Im wondering if it will kind of drill a small hole in the trub..and only suck up that small amount of trub? OR should i keep the tip above the trub at all times?
2) My kit came w/ a certain type of sugar that I will be boiling. I plan on adding this to my bottling bucket FIRST (do i have to let it cool first?)...then siphonbeer on top...then stirring ever so gently with the auto-siphon when its full. Is this the right thing to do?
