Priming sugar temp extremely high - is it bad?

[StarCityBrewMaster]

Yesterday me and some buddies put our first batch into bottles! It was an English Brown Ale and and smelled amazing.

I boiled the priming sugar (about 1oz/gallon) for five minutes, then tossed it straight into the bottling bucket. I read the directions and it said nothing about letting it cool. This didn't seem right so I grabbed a book and scanned the section real quick on bottling and nothing was said there about letting it cool. At that point I went ahead and racked the beer into the bucket.

This morning I was cleaning everything up and picked up my AHB directions (which are different then the one used yesterday) and found that it recommended I cool the sugar down to 80 degrees.

Can there be negative effects from the way I did this? I hope I didn't come this far to kill the yeas with boiling sugar water. Insight appreciated.

when I bottle, I let mine cool. However I doubt that a few ounces of hot priming solution is going to be a show stopper. It will be fine.

It'll be fine. You dumped a VERY small volume of hot liquid into a VERY large volume of cold liquid. It would have insataly cooled down to the same temp of the beer.

The temp of the priming solution is not important.

I dumped my priming sugar solution straight from boil into the bottling bucket and racked on top of it. The bottles carbed up fine.

Do it all the time, no worries

I never bother to cool mine, personally. Also have never had a problem.

Thanks for all the quick replies. I was on the same line of thinking as you all with 2oz of water being such a little amount with 5 gallons of beer. Glad to hear it'll be ok.

Now the hardest part of the waiting game begins!

I am going to let the majority sit at least two weeks before starting to consume them. But I may sneak one or two to experience the difference in Green beer and finished beer. About how many days should I wait to test my first?

I did drink from my test tube for my hydrometer reading so I've got day one's watered down product over with already

Never cool mine either. it cools down when beer is racked onto it so fast that there is always enough yeast left to carbonate the beer.

Wait a week then try one, wait another week and compare then wait a third. Most of my beer is ready after three weeks, but I have had higher gravity stuff take 6-8 weeks
