priming sugar
« on: November 29, 2012, 03:11:34 AM »
Hi,
Fairly new to brewing so still brushing up on my methods, Ive been adding priming sugar to the keg mixed with around 1lte of the brew taken ( using a sterilized jug)
Mixing untill the sugar has dissolved then back into the keg.

Seems most peaple are boiling a water and sugar mix, should I change or is the way im doing it  ok?

Your priming sugar is not sanitized.  You should boil it.

Why do some use priming sugar in the keg. I've been brewing a while and just pressurize the keg with CO2 and wait.

Thanks,

I carbonate in the keg, because I have two taps and 4 kegs. I like to have the two on deck ready to go at all times. I don't know if what I'm doing is correct, but it works for me,.
