Too much priming sugar

[haus88]

Just brewed an all grain ipa, just a hair under 3 gallons. I looked online calculator and stated to add 3oz table sugar. But now I'm thinking like 2oz would have been better.

Was that too much, and if so besides bottle bombs what else will be effected taste? Thanks so

No, not too much. The common recommended amount is 5oz on a 5 gallon batch (which I find to be just a bit too little so I use about 5.6oz on 5 gallons) so that is 1oz per gallon. You're perfectly fine.

Your fine. Even if it is too much, which I doubt, it won't affect the flavor, just carbonation.

Thanks I'm going to relax and have another beer! First all grain batch, took a little sip before bottling seems promising. Thanks again
