    Capping, I think I suck at it.

    I batch primed but did stir it well, as the batch before I did not. Just poured a bottle tonight and the cap was clearly crimped better than the last one and it was carbed perfectly.

    Did I just make 50 bottle BOMBS???

    So I did the calculator and it says 4.6 oz so i didn't over due it too much. I am curious as to why the calculator on the brewersfriend website is showing me 1.5 oz. I panicked when I saw 1.5.... has anyone had a problem with this calculator before?
