Priming sugar is added to the beer right before you bottle it. The priming sugar will give the yeast that remains active in your brew the added fuel to carbonate your beer. The best way to add priming sugar to your beer is to add it to the bottling bucket before you transfer the wort from the fermenter.

There are a variety of priming sugars to choose from. If you are preparing from a prepackaged ingredient kit, you will probably get corn sugar. You also can choose to go with white sugar or even dry malt extract.

No matter what you use, you will need to dissolve it in boiling water before adding it to your bottling bucket. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add ¾ cup corn sugar (⅔ cup of white sugar, or 1 ¼ cup dry malt extract) to the boiling water and boil for five minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool to 110 degrees before adding it to the bottling bucket.

Your choice of priming sugar will play no role in the flavor of your beer.
