About to bottle up my first batch in next few days.

Can I use just normal granulated sugar in bottles?
 
Yep but it takes longer to dissolve. Either shake the bottles mpre when conditioning or use brewers sugar. Tbh you can use nearly any fermentable sugar
 
Early days, but once you have a few under your belt give batch primming a shot, it's so much easier. Calculator available on here
 
Personally, regardless of the type of sugar I am using, I do a whole batch at a time rather than mess around with a teaspoon into each bottle.

Before I wash out the bottles, I dissolve the required amount of sugar in a small amount of water as I bring it up to the boil in a saucepan.

I cover the saucepan with tin foil and let it cool whilst I am washing the bottles and syphoning the beer into the Bottling Bucket.

As the syphoning is taking place I pour the cooled sugar syrup into the Beer Bucket and gently mix it into the beer (being careful not to get too much oxygen introduced) before starting to fill the bottles. :thumb:
