Priming sugar

[SoCalGrandpa]

I accidentally mixed in the priming sugar with the wort just prior to transferring my Irish stout to the first fermentation vessel. It seems to be fermenting just fine. I just moved it after one week from the first vessel (plastic bucket) to the glass carboy. Do I add more priming sugar before bottling?

The yeast should eat it, mite have a higher ABV, could change the taste depending on how much you added.

I would say yes after fermentation you'll need to prime again.

How much priming sugar did you add?

Yes. You will need to add priming sugar at bottling time again.

You'll end up with a higher ABV in the finished beer and will have to prime again before bottling. If you didn't boil the sugar before adding it - or add it to the boil during the process you might end up with an infection... Not trying to scare you - but it is a possibility...

If it was the 5oz bag of dextrose kits usually give,it won't effect the ABV too much. And sugar being dry & sealed in a bag,two of the 3 elements molds,etc need to propigate are missing. Namely,air & moisture. You'll need more priming sugar on bottling day.

I figured someone would make that point about the sugar. (unionrdr)

Who,lil ol' me?
I keep mine sealed in the pantry with the other dry stuff,& for 2 years + no infections,let alone fromm the dry stuff. i'm just careful to understand basic life processes & deal with them accordingly. I think it's part of brewings' scientific side. The two have been shown to increase knwoledge for both science & brewing. Not to mention civilization in general.

Thanks, everyone. Checked with the place I buy my supplies and all answers consistent. Add sugar in bottling day and no big deal!
