How to Add Priming Sugar (5 Steps)
The process of making beer includes adding a priming solution to the solution. The priming solution is a sweetener that consists of sugar and water. It is added at the end of the brewing process and activates the yeast to allow the beer to become carbonated. According to HowToBrew.com. the best way to prime beer is to mix the priming sugar into the whole batch prior to bottling--this ensures that all the bottles will be carbonated the same.
