Potential priming problem

[Terry_Plow]

I had a beer in a secondary for 4 weeks. But the secondary was my bottling bucket. So I just poured the boiled/dissolved sugar water very gently into the top of my beer.

Normally I would rack into the bottling bucket with the sugar in the bucket first.

After realizing what I did, I gave it a very gentle stir with a sanitized spoon, about halfway down the bucket so I don't stir up the trub too much.

Do you think I'll have carbonation problems?

4.5oz dextrose for what ended up being somewhere around 40-45 bottles

You will probably be okay with carbonation. The amount of priming sugar and the number of bottles filled is about right.
You might end up with a little more sediment than usual in each bottle, but that is easy to handle. Slightly longer conditioning time will compact it. Leave a bit of beer in the bottle when you pour.

I probably only gave it one pass around the bucket with the spoon. Not very stirred.

My last 10 bottles or so looked pretty cloudy coming thru the bottling wand.

And I was going to do exactly as you said. Carbonate at room temp for 4 weeks then into the fridge for at least a week before drinking.

Thanks for easing my worries.
