so i've just gotten back into brewing, and i forgot to boil my priming sugar into a solution before adding it to my 5 gallons of beer. i just poured into the bottom of my bucket, racked the beer into the bucket, swirled it around for about 2 minutes, then got to bottling. will this be a problem? and if so, can i do something about it?

thanks!
 
A week back I did priming with sugar for the first time, usually just use the drops, all I did was dissolve it in boiled kettle water. Was also wondering if this will suffice? Or should you boil the sugar in the water for a few minutes?
 
did you at least dissolve it in water first? Or just dump the dry sugar in? If the latter, you'll likely have uneven carbonation and possibly a few bombs. Might want to put them in a rubber made tote while they're carbing up just to be safe and get some carb drops on order for those not showing signs of carbonation withing a month or so.
