Hi everyone. First off, I know other people have posted similar questions..I promise I went through them, but I wasn't confident with how to adjust for my situation, so I needed to start a new thread to ask. My apologies.
I brewed a 5 gallon batch...ended with pretty much exactly 5 gallons. I legged half, bottled half (to give to a friend). The problem is, I forgot to cut the amount of sugar in half for the bottling, and realized it as I capped the last bottle.
I've seen the solution seems to be to uncap and recap. My main question is: when? Too soon, and it defeats the point. Too late, and...well, I'll be cleaning up beer from the bombs.
I bottled exactly 2.5 gallons with 4 oz of sugar. Should I wait a week and uncap/recap? Two weeks?
Any suggestions or help is so greatly appreciated. Thanks
