Hello,
So I bottled my second batch, Simcoe Select IPA kit from Midwest Supplies into 22 oz bottles. I racked from my glass carboy to my bottling bucket and then added in the corn sugar/water mixture (per the instructions that came with the kit). I have tried about 5 bottles so far and only one had good carbonation, one had okay carbonation and the rest have been kind of flat. I know you aren't supposed to introduce oxygen at any point after fermentation, but how can I get even carbonation in all my bottles without stirring the corn sugar/water mixture in the bottling bucket. I usually either put the sugar water mix in first and then siphon in the beer, or vice versa.
