sugar in bottles

[johny73]

hi

i primed my bottles on saterday and bottled up but i noticed the sugar lying in bottom of bottles will it dissolve ?

Check the bottles for firmness if they are plastic.
If they are glass just look a little closer as this could be sediment dropped from the secondary fermentation in the bottles.
Think of how long a brew takes to ferment in the FV, it only takes around 4 to 5 days to get the main fermentation out of the way and then a following 4 to 5 days to finish and alot of sediment drops out vey quickly.

You might need to give them a swirl, or invert them a couple of times to distribute the sugar.

It will only delay the sellting by a day or two, so not to worry.

Well there's another advantage for dextrose...

...I've always had it disolve completely on filling. Likely the granule size which is somewhere between caster and icing sugar.

It won't matter anyway, the yeast will get to it and turn it to alcohol and CO2 eventually, might just take a day or two longer.

I've only used granulated and never had an issue.

Filling method maybe?

I'm a little bottler - you?
