If you have a hydrometer, you can monitor the final gravity to see if fermentation is complete before bottling. Brad Hi,

Is this normal? I have read that other people have an airlock on them. I bought a beer and wine making kit from the company RJ Spagnols. Now my carboy (glass) has an airlock which is fine. Any help would be greatly appreiated. Thank you. I am new to beer making and I noticed that my primary fermenter (open pail) has a lid, but does not have an airlock. Is this normal?

Likely you will have some variation, but I expect your carbonation to be pretty good overall. Hi,

I then siphoned in the beer from my fermenter using an auto-siphon and plastic tube. One thing I forgot to do once all of the beer was siphoned into the bottling bucket was to gently stir the beer. Do you think that the beer will still carbonate ok if I forgot to stir the beer to mix the priming sugar in? Will some of the bottles be flat and others over carbonated? Not sure what I'm going to get. During a recent bottling session, I started off by putting in my priming sugar solution in the bottom of an empty bottling bucket.
