Yes, it's another newbie question...
And yes I did a search to get answers to my question before posting, but didn't find anything quickly, so here goes...
My first batch is in the secondary 5 gal carboy, when it's time to bottle do I need to rack the beer into a bottling bucket, add the priming sugar and then fill my bottles? Or can I just put the priming sugar right into the carboy then fill the bottles? I'm thinking I should try to minimize the risk of exposure to air/bugs/etc before I bottle, so if I can prime right in the secondary and bottle from there, the exposure will be minimized.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
