So, Ive been making a habanero tincture. My question is how would you add it to the bottling bucket? I have a 5 gallon batch of Mango IPA. I'm going to split that when I go to bottle it, 3.5 gallons as a mango ipa and 1.5 gallons as a mango habanero ipa. How would you add it? Would I add my priming sugar solution to the bottling bucket, once I bottle 3.5 gallons, would I then add the habanero tincture? Or do I need to add 3.5 gallons with correct amount priming solution, bottle that. Then , add the priming solutionwith a few drops of the tincture and transfer the remaining 1.5 gallons on top of that and bottle?

I would figure out how much tincture you need for a bottle of beer. Prime the batch and bottle, then add the tincture to however many bottles you want individually and cap.

I know how much tincture I need for 1.5 gallons, but how or when do I add it?  Are you saying add the tincture directly to each bottle?

That's the way I read it and it sounds like a good idea to me, but I haven't added any tinctures to my brews yet

The way I would do it would be to:

1.  Batch prime your full 5 gallons.
2.  Bottle the first 3.5 gallons.
3.  Add the tincture to the remaining 1.5 gallons.
4.  Bottle the 1.5 gallons.

4.  Bottle the 1.5 gallons.

the tincture will spread evenly through it if i just add it to the last 1.5 gallons?

Give it a gentle swirl with a sanitised spoon.

Good process with an additional gentle swirl to fully mix the habanero in between #3 and 4.

So I tried taking another I had made and just added drops to that before I poured it into a glass and it came out well.  So I did just go the route of adding it directly into the bottle.  Thanks for the help/tips!
