I was bottling my first batch last week and I racked into my bottling bucket which contained a mixture of 3/4c corn sugar and 2 cups water.
Well, I was so concerned about exposing the beer to the air and excited about bottling that when the auto-siphon let out with about a gallon to go, I didn't even consider the mis-measurement in the sugar levels until after the fact.
So, basically I primed with 3/4c sugar to 4 gallons of beer. I put them into Newcastle bottles and capped with a lever action capper.
They've been bottle conditioning about a week now and nothing has exploded yet, but I put one in the fridge for a couple hours yesterday and it was already carbonated, it scared me that they're already carbed after only one week.
Is this going to be enough to make them explode or will it just be super fizzy beer?
