I bottled 2 five gallon batchs over the weekend and on the second batch I may have made a typical newbie mistake. I heated 2 cups of water to boiling and then mixed in the sugar. I allowed it to cool slightly and then added it to the bottling bucket. What I didn't do was boil both the water and the sugar for 5 minutes as recommended by most instructions. Is there anything I need to do to compensate for this mistake at this point? Will it just take longer to carbonate?
Thanks,
Mick
