Big Mistake - bottle blow out???

Tim · May 25, 2006

When bottling my last batch of beer I mistakenly (stupidly) added servomyces (yeast nutrient from White Labs) to the priming extract in addtion to another package of yeast (oh boy...) ... will this cause my bottles to blow? The beer tasted great going into the bottles and I'd hate to see it all wasted.

Thanks

I dont think that this will cause the bottles to explode. It will only make the yeast do their job more efficiently. Once they have eaten all the fermentable sugar they will hibernate.

CO2 pressure depends on how much the yeast has to eat, not how many yeasts are there to eat it. So long as you didn't overdo the priming extract, you'll be fine.

Thank you very much guys, I'm glad to hear that!

Would this put more sediment in the bottles?

I would think so but being a Wit Bier that should be fine.
