First off I would just like to say thanks to everyone here for all of the helpful info I have read and learned. I started out like alot of other people with the Mr. Beer And did that for about three years but then a deployment overseas made me take a break from brewing. Once I returned I knew of some one that was brewing and that re-fueled my desire to brew.
So I grew up threw away my Mr. Beer kit and bought the big boy stuff. I am loving it agian. My first batch is a true brew red ale extract kit. I had some hicups as I knocked the dust off of my brewing skills(cough, cough) but everything is going good I am just about ready to bottle and was wondering once i rack from my secondary carboy to the bucket adding the priming sugar how long should I wait until I bottle? Can I do it instantly or wait about an hour for it to settle before bottling?
This brew sat in the primary for 2 weeks which I think was a little long because it was done fermenting at 1 week by my hydrometer, and now it has sat in the secondary for a week.
I think this weekend I am going to order a AHS Texas Blonde Ale for my next batch. Thanks for the Help, Brady
