NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

"The point is that without enough convection/agitation problems will occur.
-S"
For 5 gallon batches of beer I pump or siphon beer into a bottling bucket.
When there is an inch of beer in the bucket I add a previously boiled
solution of 3/4 cup corn sugar in 2 cups water. When all beer has been
added to the bucket I stir just enough to move the beer...no vortex. After
3 minutes I fill into bottles. For years this has given well carbonated
beer...no noticeable difference between carbonation bottle to bottle.

Subject: RE: Priming
Steve (-S) says "The point is that without enough convection/agitation
problems will occur." This is true. Although I haven't seen any studies
done to identify what "enough" is, my own experience matches John's and
Randall's and I'll postulate that for practical purposes "enough" is very
low. Simply pouring a boiled sugar syrup into the bottling bucket,
siphoning beer into the bucket and a few gentle stirs results in even
carbonation without oxidation. Quick, easy, effective. No science, just
experience.
