Just curious how everyone adds their priming sugar? I have been adding about 6 inches or so of finsished beer to my bucket, then with a slow stir adding the priming syrup with a slow stir? Is their a better way?
 
I have three quarters of the beer in the bucket before adding the priming solution. The curled siphon tube at the bottom of the bucket keeps the beer moving. Pour very slowly with no splashing as the beer moves around the bucket.
Clipping the siphon to the carboy makes it a hands free operation until almost all the beer is removed. I unclip the siphon to hold it above the trub to get the last of the beer.
When I'm set up to bottles I'll stir the beer again with a long sanitized spoon.
