1st time w/secondary fermentor

May 05, 2004 3 Replies

Need to find out about priming/bottling from a secondary fermentor carboy. This is my 4th batch. Previous 3 have met with varied success. (2nd was great) .I got the carboy as a gift and decided to make something that uses it. I'm making a scotch ale and am using a glass carboy secondary fermentor. Do you re-siphon the wort into the bottling bucket or use the racking cane straight from the carboy.?

Siphon into the bucket and add your priming sugar (mixed with boiled, cooled water) to it.

rack from the carboy into your original/primary bucket, add your priming sugar/water mixture, and bottle from there. i use a secondary on all my batches.
