Hi All, I have a lager brew ready to bottle that is sitting in the fermenter clearing up a bit.
I am keen to bulk prime to save some time as I am so sick of hand sugaring my bottles and I think the fact the primer is dissolved may produce a brew with less sediment.
Is it essential to rack to do this?
Has anyone simply poured dissolved dextrose/sugar into the wort, given it a gentle swirl and then bottled?
My local home brew shop guy says this is fine and there's no need to rack, but I have googled the topic (which lead me here!) and everyone seems to pour the dissolved primer into a 2nd container, then pour the brew onto that and then bottle.
Experts I welcome your advice, so:
