Hey all! I just finished my first batch in 10 years or so. An American Wheat that turned out pretty well.
I was wondering how much air to leave in the bottle and how it affects the carbonation?
I experimented and filled some all the way up, and varied it down to about an inch of airspace in a 12 oz bottle.
I also bottle primed. I did 1/2 tsp per bottle in half, and 3/4 tsp in the other half. I've been told that the bottles with 3/4's tsp may be in danger of blowing up? What do you think? The final gravity was 1.014
Thanks
Eric
