Making bottling go as smoothly as possible is important to me, as it is one of my least favorite parts about brewing (I know, kegging solves some of this, and trust me, it is not far off). I already bake my bottles in the oven w/ foil over the mouth so that I can keep a store of sterilized bottles ready to go, and I was recently thinking about how much time I could save by not having to boil/cool my priming sugar mix every time.
Does anyone out there make a large batch (say, 1 gallon) all at once, store in a sanitized container, and then measure out the appropriate amount when it comes time to bottle?
Are there any foreseeable problems with this method that I may be missing?
At a rate of 2c of priming solution per 5-gallon batch, 8 batches of priming sugar for the work of one is pretty attractive to me.
