BOTTLING BUCKET

[corby_brewer]

Afternoon all.

Im soon to be bottling my EDME Irish stout, but like a muppit im using the FV that i use as a bottling bucket on an other brew. my question is would it be ok to use my boiler as a bottling bucket? and how much sugar should i use to prime the bottles?

Yes you'll be fine using your boiler, as long as it's cleaned and sanitised :thumb:
As for sugar it depends on how fizzy you want your stout to be, personally I would use 95 grammes for a 23 l batch :thumb:

Should be OK davesiv but be careful when you decant into the vessel not to get air into the brew which might cause infections.
Suggest you syphon rather than pour it.
½ teaspoon per pint is correct priming rate.

I use the FV to bottle from but I don't mass-prime - am I doing it wrong?
