Hola amigos,
Bad news from homebrew land. I was all set to bottle up the latest in my computer-themed brews (a stout affectionately named Have You Tried ReStouting), when tragedy struck. I added in my priming sugar, filled up a few bottles, and attempted to cap them, when I realized that the bottles that had been donated to me were all twist offs! The glass started to crack and shatter as I applied pressure, so I gathered up all such underperforming bottles and chucked them into the recycling.
Afterwards, I resealed my fermenter and let the yeast do its work on the priming sugar. There were some bubbles in the airlock, but thankfully it's been over a week now and it's all settled down. In the meantime, I was able to get some more appropriate bottles from a friend of mine. I'm ready to bottle again now, but my question is...is it safe to re-prime my batch? And if so, do I use another measured dose of priming sugar, or should I use less (since there's bound to be a little leftover from the first dose)?
Again, thanks to you all for your limitless knowledge. As with my previous batch (Error Lager), I will be posting the label as soon as I get a few hours to play around in Photoshop. Happy brewing!
