Bubble Up! 

Once fermentation is complete, you will transfer the beer into bottles and, 
depending on bottle size, add a certain amount of priming sugar to produce the 
proper level of carbonation. Carbonation is created when yeast metabolizes the 
priming sugar to create carbon dioxide. Under pressure, the CO2 bubbles have 
nowhere to go but to remain in solution.

 In order to carbonate the beer, it must 

be transferred into bottles.

 After two weeks, you will know the beer is ready 

to bottle and carbonate by tasting a small sample. The beer should taste like flat 
beer. If the beer is sweet, make sure that it is in the correct temperature range 
(68°F-76°F or 20°C-24°C) and let it ferment for a few days longer, but no longer 
than one more week.

Due to this natural carbonation, there will always be a small amount of sediment at the bottom of each bottle. This is 

 perfectly natural and you can still have a crystal clear beer by gently pouring it into a glass. The sediment also aids in flavor 
 development over time.

It is impossible to carbonate inside the fermenter, as it cannot hold pressure.
