I am brewing my first batch with my own setup (I have been brewing with a friend), and currently I only have a 7gal bottling bucket and a 5 gal glass carboy. The bottling spigot didn't have any leaks, so I am currently brewing an AHS Belgian White in my bottling bucket. I am hoping to bottle with my brother when he comes in to town for Thanksgiving, which will give this beer about 3 1/2 weeks in primary. I was thinking that I would need to rack to the carboy, clean the bottling bucket, put the priming sugar solution in the bucket and rack back to the bucket before I bottle. If this is what I should so, when should I do each step and how much time should I leave between each?
OR, is there a way to bottle straight from the bottling bucket? Will the trub likely come up the spigot? If not, how do I add the priming sugar and mix it evenly without disturbing the trub?
