I have a very cheaply made spring loaded bottling wand (will be upgrading this weekend) that has a tendency to stick in the open position. I was bottling my Hefe yesterday and the wand got stuck, so I am trying to fill the bottle, hand it off to my assistant to cap and move the wand to the next bottle without spilling too much beer (it looked like a bad I Love Lucy episode ). Two of the bottles got over-filled, one of them almost to the brim.
My question is; does this increase my chances of bottle bombs? I have put the two bottles inside of the bottling bucket, with the bucket lid set on top, and I figure I will sample the one most full in a week. Will the reduction in head-space cause the pressure to increase too much?
Thanks,
