Hey folks. So I have this dilemma. I have a solution as well. But I would also like some advice and thoughts to round off my experiences.
So I brewed a pumkin wheat ale. I created my priming sugar as normal, 5/8 cup of table sugar, boiled in 1-2 cups water for 10 minutes with some extra pumpkin pie spices for extra flavor. I cooled the solution a bit and dumped it into my bottling bucket. I then proceded to rack my pumpkin wheat ale on top of my priming solution in a swirling motion.
Well, its been 5-6 weeks, and I have a few bottles of perfectly carbonated beer, a couple overly carbonated, and most of them pretty much flat
Everything I have read says to rack on top of priming solution in a swirling motion and it should mix well. That just didn't seem to work out for me. What have I done wrong?!
My solution is simple: Stir racked beer gently (hopefully not aerating) to ensure proper distribution.
I would just like to know if there is anything I have done wrong/differently, as it seems other people have no issues just racking on top of their priming solution.
