Thanks for the input, everyone. It turned out fine; no bottle bombs (so far) and it tasted pretty good when we opened a bottle yesterday. Success!

Bitter Girl Brewery. A friend of mine came up with it. I'm a girl, and occasionally bitter (actually, I was pretty bitter at the time I first started brewing), and of course, beer is bitter. Of course, it also comes with myriad clever naming possibilities for future beers. Ex-Girlfriend IPA...

@jaycount: I had instructions that just said to mix the sugar with the beer in the bottling bucket. No boiling mentioned. Sadness. Oh well. I'll make sure to put the bottles in an unused closet or something. Thanks, everyone!

Yes, I stirred a little bit with the auto-siphon since I was concerned about the sugar dissolving.

I recently bottled my first IPA, but didn't boil my priming sugar beforehand. I just poured the sugar into my bottling bucket and racked the beer on top of it. Am I screwed?
