I am brewing my first homebrew and it has just about finished its first fermentation. I got a barrel with my brewing kit but would like to store the beer in bottles as I can leave them in the garage and bring them up as required for drinking. After reading online I am planning to batch prime the beer in the barrel and then transfer to bottles from there. Does that sound like a decent plan?
My other two questions are:
1) how long should I leave my beer in the barrel to prime before transferring to bottles?
2) can I use silver spoon table sugar as priming sugar and if so how much would be required for an IPA made up to 23 litres? Silver spoon cane sugar is what I currently have in the house.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
