I'm about to add priming sugar to my beer. What is best of adding 1/2 teaspoon into each bottle or around 150g and boil in water? any difference?
i find it less time consuming to dissolve the sugar in a bit of boiling water and add to the whole batch.
Sugars not sanitary, you might be fine adding it directly but boiling sanitises it and is safer.

I boil up a sugar solution and draw it into a big syringe like so:

Allows me to get precise with the priming calcs, is sanitary, and makes for simpler workflow. With spare time, I would do a good clean and batch prime, but space is tight, and the OH tends to fuss around the kitchen far too near my exposed beer ...
Surely easier to mix the whole lot in a bottling bucket than squirting, oh too much, oh too little etc.
With lambing season round the corner the old grey cells just rembered these:

They come in different sizes for lambs/sheep/cows etc but allow to dispense an exact volume of (sugar syrup in our case) into the bottle.
For £16 may be of interest!
I'm assuming you just submerge the hose part in your sugar solution and it's good to go? Looks decent enough anyway.
Strap a Squeezy bottle to it altogether.
Then all you need is a Gun Rack.
