Greetings Folks,
Long time member who unfortunately had to take a long break from brewing. Back now, and I just bottled a sour beer that had been sitting for a few years.
I've never done much bottling. I put the sour into 750ml and 375ml bottles. The corker I was using pushed the corks too far into the bottles, and I didn't really think about it until the whole batch was in bottles. Most of the corks are only sticking out of the bottle by a few millimeters.
My question is, should I take a corkscrew and manually back out every bottle, or will the pressure of the carbonating beer push the corks out to the cages? I measured sugar out to give me around 2.5 volumes of CO2.
Thoughts? Opinions? Insults?
