I have done 3 Mr Beer batches and have always add sugar to the bottles. I did a Munton's IPA, and decide to prime this one in the bottling bucket instead. So used the 5oz corn sugar method, boiled it, then as i started my siphon i poured it in the bucket.
Does this method usually take longer to carbonate than adding sugar directly to the bottle? After 4 days I took 1 bottle, put it in the fridge for a day, and then tried it yesteray. While it tasted pretty good, it was still pretty flat. Whereas all of my mr beer batch, after about 3 days, i could put them in the fridge and have plenty of carbonation, and a good head on the beer. So just curious if this process takes longer.
