I went to bottle my Rye P.A. the other day, boiled and cooled the priming sugar, poured it in the pail, started to rack the beer on top of it, and then noticed the unmistakable stream of beer and priming sugar streaming out of the &^^%^%$ valve at the bottom of the pail that I left open. Since I had no way to determine how much of my leak was sugar, and had no more priming sugar even if I wanted to add some, I went ahead and bottled my beer anyway.
The total loss was probably less than one cup, and hopefully only 1/2 of it was priming sugar. Am I likely to end up with little carbonation? or worse yet no carbs? Should I be able to drop half of a sugar tablet of in each bottle and re-cap? My concern is that I don't know how much sugar to use, since I don't know how much I lost.
