Hello all! I made my first batch using the Coopers kit with very old (expired) ingredients according to the instructions and ended up with... OK beer. My next batch was the Coopers IPA kit and it turned out excellent. Both of these I fermented in the Coopers fermenter and bottled straight from it using the Coopers priming drops, one batch I also used a party pig keg and added priming sugar directly to it. I did not use a bottling bucket.
I am about to bottle my latest creation, not Coopers at all. It is an APA with a bit more hops than is typical. Tastes great un carbonated! I am considering bottling it just like I did the last two batches using the Coopers priming drops and adding priming sugar directly to the party pig keg. Since I am not mixing priming sugar into the fermenter I am assuming, like the last two batches, this will be fine. Or am I fooling myself? I do, FWIW, have another fermenter I can use as a bottling bucket but it seems unnecessary.
What do you think?!
