Can this be bottled rather than kegged?

Haha not even a spigot! I figured that's what I'd have to do. Sorry for all the confusion. So I will siphon into a carboy, clean the bucket, rerack into the clean bucket and add the priming kit? And THEN bottle

I just have a generic kit. a 5 gallon bucket basically

But for the priming, should I siphon first into a carboy and then put the priming sugar into that? Obviously I don't want to stir up the sediment in the fermenter... Thanks again!

Fair enough thanks! After that, is it still worth setting into a carboy to get the sediment out?

I have a 5 gallon batch of Coopers IPA that has finished primary. The instructions say to go directly to bottling. I'm thinking there's a lot of sediment in the fermenter and that I should transfer to a carboy (and maybe add some gelatin?) for a few days before bottling. Should I just...

Thanks for the quick reply. Very much appreciated. So I'll add the remainder of the corn sugar (after removing 3/4 cup). Would it be beneficial at all to boil it into a litre or 2 of water first? Or will it dissolve ok putting it right into the fermenter (without ruining the yeast)?

Thanks! YES the 3/4 cups probably should've been taken out for priming right? It's only been fermenting a couple hours. Maybe 3. Is it too late to add the rest of that sugar (minus 3/4 cups)?

I had purchased the kit a while ago, and had 1.15kg corn sugar with it. That's all. Also have 200g of Muntons Kreamyx beer kit primer (which I assume is for bottling). I kind of panicked and went to the internet and a few places seemed to settle on adding 3/4 cup of corn sugar to this...

Using a Cooper's IPA extract kit... My IPA didn't come with anything other than the yeast... My OG should be about 1.04 (according to the directions) but instead read 1.0254. The only thing I added before the yeast was 3/4 cup of corn sugar. Should I / Can I add more?? Thanks!!
