Hey guys I'm bottling on Saturday morning and I cold crashed it and now trying to bring it back to temp of 18C but seems stuck at 14.4C, so that might be it? I was looking thru an old thread here and found this.....

I personally found bulk priming the best way of starting when I first brewed, simply because It allowed me to siphon my beer off the layer sediment and dry hops. Nothing worse than having bottles half full of sediment.

After that, just boil up some dextrose or regular table sugar (i have found dextrose to be best) in a sanitised jug with about 2 cups of water. I just santise my jug, boil water in the kettle, then put it in the microwave for 2 minutes, then shove it in my sink with water just to cool it off a bit. 

After that you would just pour your priming sugar solution into the bottom of a sanitised bucket or fermenter with a tap, then use and auto siphon that you can buy for pretty cheap at a homebrew store to siphon the beer into the sugar solution. The main thing here is to keep the bottom of siphon out of the yeast/trub on the bottom of the fermenter, and to avoid aerating the beer too much by splashing it or letting it run down the walls of your bucket

 I am now thinking maybe bulk prime will be the way to go I think I'll have around 40 odd 500ml bottles and could be at this temp how do I go about this method please? would you recommend it for my first attempt? and I have an auto syphon too. 

Cheers

Darren.
