What would cause the beer in the bottling bucket to foam out of control
and overflow when pouring in the priming sugar... I think priming each
bottle is the safest way or what am I doing wrong... it's at 24'c when
adding the sugar...
Should I put the priming sugar in first and then syphon the beer on top?

Thanks

Yes.

Boil your priming sugar for a few minutes in sufficient water for it to
dissolve, cool it (i.e. put a lid on the saucepan whilst you're doing the
rest of the set up), pour it into your bottling bucket, and then rack the
beer on top. The action of syphoning will cause everything to mix up nicely
so you get equal carbonation for each bottle.

Cheers,
Rowan

Thanks for the advise, will try that...

I find that using prime-tabs or carbonation drops or somesuch works very
well...if you add the requisite number just before you cap your bottles, you
get a nice uniform carbonation throughout the batch

The sugar is creating nucleation sites for the CO2 from fermentation
that's dissolved in the beer. Boil some water, mix the sugar in, add
that to your bottling bucket, rack the beer onto it, and you're good to
go.

The beer foamed when you added your sugar? Are you sure the batch is fully
fermented?
