Bulk Priming:
A technique used to prime your fermented beer in a single batch rather then individually as you would when bottling. Most people combine a mixture of water and sugar in a second vessel and rack the fermented beer on top of the sugar mixture. They would then bottle from the mixture without adding any sugar to the bottles as it has already mixed with the 'bulk' amount. A hit and miss technique, with as many failures as successful uses. Can also be used in kegging if your gas has run out.

This was a boring non-event. Poured a light pale yellow with little head. Had hardly any aroma, and tasted about the same. It was drinkable in a thirsty sort of way, but as for being a beer, it was a waste of two fiddy.
I'm guessing these Amsterdam beers are a contracted knock-off brewed by Royal Grolsch, now gobbled up by SABMiller. http://www.amsterdambeers.com/light/mariner_330_bottle.htm |
