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?
@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!
A guy at Beer and Winemakers Warehouse in Hartford actually told me that he never boils the priming sugar and just dumps it in like you did. I did that with the Rogue Brutal Bitter clone that I bought from that store. The beer was fine and there was no issue with uneven carbonation. That is the only beer I have done that with though.
