How to Brew Beer

Step 26 Syphon remainder/all the beer back into Barrel

Syphon the beer back into the barrel. You need to prime the barrel with 2oz or 60g of Demerara sugar (less if you used some of your beer for bottles like I did). I took some of the beer to one side in a glass and mixed the sugar in and then re-introduced the beer/sugar mix with the main batch of beer.
Leave for a week in the barrel before sampling your beer.

This is only of you do not want to bottle all of your beer. You could transfer some back into the barrel and have it "on tap" in your fridge, as long as the barrel fits in your fridge.
