WHen you are bottling if you can't fill up the final bottle all the way, what do you do with it? Do you just drink it flat, or cap the bottle and see if it carbonates?
You should splash it on your face in celebration!
I brew bitter (Low carbed anyway). I usually get through about two pints at bottling time. Carbonation is for fluffy cats!
I just drink it.
I do the same thing and squeeze out any extra air. As it carbs up, the bottle will start to retain it's original shape. Kinda cool to watch.I bottle it in a plastic water bottle to monitor carbonation.
If it's at least a half bottle, I just bottle it. Then I drink it after one week. With more headspace, it's more carbed. I always find it's pretty carbonated at one week, already. I don't just drink it without bottling because I don't like the priming sugar in the beer.
