My local home brew shop said (with the equipment I have) is to:
1) Prepare priming sugar with 1/2 cup of water. And pour into bottom of bottling bucket (5 gallons).
2) Siphon from primary (5 gallon batch) to bottling bucket, and priming sugar will naturally mix in without stirring & causing aeration.
3) Bottle in individual bottles and cap.
Is this a proper technique to use to ensure even carbonation and overall good bottling techniques?
Also,
I have a 5 gallon batch and 5 gallon bottling bucket. Will I be pushing the brim of bucket or should I be fine?
Thanks home brewers,
