My first batch, and after going from primary straight to bottle priming ( using corn sugar ) 2 days ago, the sugar has suddenly decided to collect in the bottom... My temptation is to shake it, but after the valuable advice i had had and read about on this forum :)D) I have decided against it ( heard alot about "letting the yeast get on with it" etc etc ) but i was just curious, would it hurt to shake the bottles? I'm using 1 litre PETs, I'm just thinking it would distribute the sugar back into the beer.... or will the yeast still manage to get it while it's stuck at the bottom?

Thanks :D
 
i would not shake it - but i have turned bottles upside down and gently rocked them to resuspend the yeast - it should work for the sugar
