Brewing my second Cooper's batch - the first one was quite succesfull, but now I have some doubts concerning bottling with too much priming sugar.
About 8 hours ago, I added 1.5 teaspoons of table sugar to a 0.5l glass bottle. Do you think I am running into a risk of bottle explosion? Last batch I did included one 1l (plastic) bottle to which I added 3 teaspoons, and it turned out to be great. So, I figured out that 3/2=1.5, but I am now worried since Mr.Beer instructions that I found recommend to put 1 teaspoon to a 0.5l bottle, and 1.5 teaspoons to a 0.65l bottle.
What do you think - is 0.5 teaspoons of extra table sugar resulting in a bomb?
The batch sat in the fermenting tube for 13 days, OG was 1.045 and FG is 1.014, has been for more than three days.
As you can see I am a worrying noobie in these matters but glass bottles exploding starts to be quite dangerous.
