Ok guys check it out...Me, my partner and our LHBS guy developed a Pumpkin Ale recipe. It's a brown ale, full bodied, spiced up front, maple/brown sugar sweetness on the end. It tastes amazing and exactly how I wanted it to taste. Guess what I forgot? The priming sugar! Knowing that I could manage with cane sugar, I did just that but in addition to that I added a cup of corn syrup with added vanilla flavoring as I expected it to meld well with the vanilla already in the beer. 2 ounces of Cane Sugar and 1 cup of Corn Syrup, boiled in water and added at bottling.
Here's where my fear lies. I tried to lean towards the 'a little less' side of carbonation because I've never worked with Corn Syrup or Cane Sugar in the past and I didn't want 2 cases of Bottle Bombs. In the event of little to no Carbonation, could I potentially start the bottling process over in 2 weeks? Is it too late, am I stuck now? Also, what are the chances that I just ruined this awesome Punkin Ale by completely under Carbing it?
