forgot to add priming sugar before siphoning

[shroder61]

I forgot to add my priming sugar to my bottling bucket before I siphoned from the fermentor. What is my next step. I assume it needed to be in there in order to mix thoroughly with the beer.

just gently stir it in without splashing. I've done the same thing before and the beer turned out fine

add the boiled and cooled priming sugar solution and gently stir with a sanitized spoon or paddle.

Great! Thanks for the replies.

Agree with above. Add sugar + gently stir = Good Beer !

It's definitely messed up, you should just send all of the full bottles to me and I will dispose of it properly.

I do this on all my batches, I don't have a my carboy marked for volume, so the only way I know how much beer I have is to look at the bottling bucket markings. Also, my carboy has so much trub, it would be hard to estimate how much I would actualy get out. Is this bad? I'm so afraid of bottle bombs, I don't won't to piss off SWMBO any more than I all ready do.

as long as your mixing the entire run with the proper range of sugar solution (use a priming calc site)- AND you stir gently and well enough including bottom to top stirring, there will be no bombs (stored under reasonable temp).

a couple calc sites I use:
