So my LHBS had some prehopped cans on sale when I went in to pick up some more stuff do to another basic ale. Got a prehopped can of Pilsner and Cervesa, along with 2 lbs of light extract.
I decided to do the Cervesa, and I'm eyeballing this pile of leftover priming sugars I have from a few kits (I use the carb tabs so my son can help out) and decide to save the malt for the Pilsner. Tossed in 25 oz of priming sugar into the prehopped batch. I figured wth, it's sugar, the yeasties will chow down.
A week later I'm still taking gravity readings and they are progressing fine but damn if it isn't fizzy as hell. Like soda pop fizzy. I assumed priming sugar was basically just corn sugar and wouldn't make a difference in anything but this stuff looks carbonated already. Been tempted to just put it in a couple swingtops and refrigerate it to see how it tastes. This normal for corn sugar or did I do something goofy?
Gonna drink it anyway, no worries.
