Heya,
I'm going to bottle my brew Sunday into about 35 St. Pauli Girl bottles that I sanitized. I have a capper and a nice little fill-siphon so I'm not too worried about any of that.
However, I am going to add priming sugar to my batch prior to bottling. I have 3/4 cup corn sugar that I will boil with 2 cups of water and then add to my batch.
***This measurement is for 5 gallons of beer, and I only produced about 4.
Do you think 3/4 cup corn sugar will add too much carbonation and the bottles will explode?
I'm thinking about cutting the corn sugar down to 1/2 cup w/ 1.5 cup water.
ALSO - My beer has fermented 7 days in my glass carboy, and (planning on) 7 in my secondary fermenter. If I bottle on the 14th day, how long should I let the bottles sit and condition before I drink them??
It's a delicious looking and smelling Oktoberfest that will hopefully be ready before Halloween-
I made a little blog showing pictures along the way if your interested.
