So I am planning on bottling tomorrow and am splitting the batch 3 gallons normal: 2 gallons with added blueberry extract (yes real fruit is 'better', but that's not the point of this thread ). I'm was planning on siphoning all 5 gallons into the bottling bucket at once to avoid having to siphon twice and risk more contamination plus save some time (I don't use an autosiphon), then bottling 3 gallons of it, then adding a little extract to the remaining 2 gallons, stirring gently, & finally bottle the remaining 2 gallons. This should only take about 5 additional minutes, but you never know.
Anyways, how long do I have before I start to lose a significant amount of CO2 from the yeast eating away the priming sugar before getting them bottled and capped?
