conorek1 0 Posted January 12, 2012 When bottling does it matter when you put the priming sugar in. Mr. beer says to put it in before the beer but it seems to disolve better when you do it after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnstarzz13 1 Posted January 12, 2012 I'd do it before as sometimes, adding sugar to a bunch of beer can trigger a foam up reaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sugar granules create nucleation points that allow the CO2 to come out as foam (or something science-y like that). It's more apparent in beers with more residual CO2 I believe, so the colder you ferment, the more likely you are to have an issue I'd think. You don't need to worry about dissolving the sugar. It will work going in first and the yeast will find it in any event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
