I recently bottled a batch of a Honey Cream Ale (1056 american ale yeast). I let it ferment out in the primary for 2 weeks. I used the corn sugar method and primed enough for 5 gal (3/4cup corn sugar in 1cup water). I didn't notice at the time but apparently I only had 4 gal. I had a mishap when pumping from boil kettle to the fermenter (damn hose flopped out of the fermenter ) looks like I lost a gallon. I bottled 27 12oz bottles and one 1.5 gal Home Draft System.
Am I going to to have bottle bombs??
Lessons learned: mark carboys (6.5gal) in half gallon increments. Make sure your hoses will not flop out of fermenter.
