    Is ordinary sugar good for bottling primer ? Half a spoon. Per pint I've been told. I don't want to to add "sweetness " though.

    Yep, it's grand. The yeast will eat it all so there won't be any sweetness.

    The best sugar is the cheapest

    I've found caster sugar being the cheapest recently

    The yeasties eat it all and make the beer fizzy, there's no taste from it

    I'd boil the sugar in its weight of water to sanitise it and to pour it into the bottle off a spoon easier

    I use a bottling bucket, so boil up the sugar, into the bucket, siphon the beer out of the fermenter onto the syrup where it's mixed evenly

    Then bottle
