Hi all,
Getting ready to bottle my 4th batch; all extract (moving to all grain this summer, but am loving extract brewing).
My LHBS only carries Brewers Best kits and despite some Luke warm reviews on here...I've found them to be very successful.
I am preparing to bottle a Toasted Coconut Cream Ale. The instructions say to add the coconut flavoring to the priming sugar/h2o solution stovetop; here's my question...
I've settled on the following process...
1) Summer priming sugar/h2o
2) Cool
3) Pour solution in bottom of bottling bucket
4) Siphon beer into bucket, letting natural motion do the stirring for me...no manual stirring.
Would you recommend this process knowing the flavoring is in with the sugar? Do you think the flavoring will evenly distribute? It stands to reason it will as I trust this process to evenly distribute the sugar when bottling. Should I follow the instructions, or add the flavoring in a different manner?
Thanks!
