piming sugar per bottle

squeekysheep · Jul 8, 2008

so i bottled my beer and forgot the priming sugar

how do you think 1 teaspoon of sugar per bottle would be or would it just be smarter to dump them back and add the sugar and re bottle.

i am planning on fixing it tomorrow the yeast should last right 1.09 hydrometer reading

thanks

If you add that much....100% GUARANTEE of bottle bombs.

Get carb tabs.
No other safe way to correct this.

And it will wait for you. If you dump back to the bucket you will end up with VERY oxygenated beer = BAD

Buy some carb tabs?

I think it depends on the bottle size. Bigger bottles require more sugar. Tell us how big are your bottles.

alright i will get those hopefully my local store has them because i don't wanna wait that long to get them done.

i assume with those tablets the yeast living doesn't matter
12 oz bottles

No the yeast being alive matters for sure, so give your bottles a swirl to kick the yeast up before opening them and dropping the tabs in.
