First Time Bottling question

[coopernatural]

Hey all,

I brewed my first batch a little while back and tomorrow is bottling day. I have about 16 of these 32oz. grolsch-type swing top bottles, and will purchase a dozen or so normal, 12oz bottles to finish bottling my 5-gallon batch.

I'm wondering, since I've never bottled before, will I be putting the same amount of priming sugar, etc in the 32 oz swing tops as I will in my 12 oz bottles? I want them to have the same carbonation. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Do you have a bottling bucket? That is the way to go.
Mix all the beer and sugar in the bucket slowly as to not oxygenate, then fill your bottles.

Oh that will totally solve that problem. I had not even thought about the bottling bucket. For some reason, I expected to measure out priming sugar for each bottle and put it in one by one. What a newbie.

Thanks for your help!

....I measure out sugar for each bottle, albeit not liquid sugar.
It's not that much of a hassle, I keep saying I'm going to get a bottling bucket but I never seem to get around to it.
