Fermentation & Priming


The process by which sugars are converted into carbon dioxide and alcohol. This process was once considered a gift from the Gods. After fermentation is complete, the beer is siphoned back into the primary fermentor, or bottling bucket, priming sugars added, stirred, and the beer is then bottled and capped. The priming sugar provides for carbonation.
