Bottled my first batch

[n00bBrew3r]

Probably screwed this up but i'll tell you anyway.

i racked my beer to the bottling bucket and added my dextrose directly to it and stirred slowly as to not add too much oxygen and bottled all my brew. I did not swirl my beer around in the bottle after they were sealed. I noticed that a lot of the sugar was floating on the top of the beer in the bottling bucket as i was filling my bottles. So my conclusion is that probably the beer at the bottom was not getting as much sugar as the last 10 beers were...hope they don't explode.

Might want to keep them contained in a hard-sided tote or a trash bag. Bottle bombs are no fun.

In the future, you might want to dissolve your priming sugar in boiling water first. This will aid in the mixing process, as well as sanitize the sugar. Also, if you add the sugar solution early in the transfer, the beer kind of mixes itself.
