Hi there, I brewed my first beer about a year ago, using a fermentation bin and then putting it in bottles, with some sugar, to condition it. It came out okay.
Now I am brewing Directors, its in the bin and bubbling away nicely. The next step in the instructions is saying to syphon it off, leaving the sediment when it stops bubbling and put it in another bin with the sugar.
Now, I thought that the second fermentation added the fizz, but surely it needs to be in an airtight container (bottle) for this to work? Also, I don't have a spare bin to syphon t into. So: can i finish the first fermentation and then just put it all in bottles, with some sugar in each?
Thanks,
Nick.
