Ounces of Corn Sugar Primer in a 3/4 Cup.

[D.B.Moody]

My primary fermenter is a plastic bucket with a snap on lid and an airlock. . . . After one week (sometimes 6 days) the beer is siphoned into a glass carboy. . . . After a week in the carboy, the beer is bottled. Technically, the beer is bottled after its is ready, which can be seen because the carboy is clear glass. There have been a few cases over the years where I delayed bottling a bit because it didn't look ready. . . .

Well, I went to bottle batch #304 this morning, and here's what I found:

This is not clear and ready to bottle. There was no foam on top of the beer when it was transferred to the carboy last week, but this brew was apparently just napping. Not only has it obviously fermented further during this past week, it had the nerve to send some bubbles out the airlock while i was taking this picture. It looks like I'll be bottling next weekend.
