Did I kill my beer? This is my first batch and I mixt in the corn sugar boiling hot. Now I am nerves that I should have let it cool down before mixing in.

I do it all the time. It kills a few million yeast cells....out of a few hundred billion yeast cells in my beer. You can quit worrying at any time, your beer will still carbonate and taste fine.

I put the hot sugar water in the bottling bucket first then rack the beer on top. Always worried about getting a consistent mixture so all bottles are the same. Anyway, that would give it more time to cool off while you're prepping the siphon.

You also have to consider that you're adding maybe a pint of boiling water to 5 gallons (I'm assuming) of room-temperature beer. That's a lot of liquid that can absorb the extra heat.
