I'm an idiot, I wasn't thinking. I bottled 5.5 gallons of brew that i split in two batches. The first, with 2.5 gallons, i bottled with 2.5 OZ of priming sugar (half the sugar for half the batch) the other 3 gallons i bottled with 32 oz of pure unsweetened black cherry juice that i boiled down to roughly 5-6 oz of liquid. Here's my potentially catestrophic mistake, i also put in the additional 2.5 oz of sugar without giving it a second thought. the cherry juice says it contains 32g of sugar (i'm assuming that means per serving, which is 4 giving 128g of sugar = 4.5 oz correct?) So i figure 2.5 oz of corn sugar and 4.5oz of cherry juice...BOOM. Am i screwed? I'm screwed.
If i start popping tops and putting back in the bucket, how long should i wait before i bottle again? And before the obvious answer, i dropped my hydrometer three weeks ago while sampling some cider. Just winging it now for a couple batches.
