I have just bottled a bitter and while in a hurry calculated the wrong amount of priming sugar. I added 7.5oz to a 5 gallon batch! This puts me right at the upper end of carbonation my bottles will be able to handel and I'm worried about bottle bombs not to mention a way over carbonated bitter.
I have had a look at some of the solutions suggested on the forums and I don't fancy pouring it all back into the fermentor.
So I was thinking of cracking the bottles after a few days and releasing the pressure and then recapping or letting them sit for a day or so and then recapping.
Will this work? Will one presure release be enough? and how long can I wait before releasing pressure before I get Bottle bombs?
