So I am trying to get a batch of Hefeweizen ready for a party I am having in a couple weeks. I brewed on 3/23. My expected OG was 1.057, but I ended up with 1.052. I bottled it on 4/2 in hopes that it would carbonate in time (12 days before party). The FG at that point was 1.016. According to my recipe calculator it should have been 1.013. I put in enough priming sugar for 4.04 vols of CO2. I'm worried that I may have bottled too soon and I could be in danger of having bottle bombs. What do you all think?
Here is the recipe I followed: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/edit/3681
I decided to go open one and see where it is at and once opened it foamed up fast and overflowed the bottle. It was warm, but that stills seems bad since it has only been 2 days and it still tastes sweet. Help! What should I do? Can I pour them all back into a fermenter and wait until I am sure fermentation is done?
