during my first all grain batch I mashed a few degrees to hot and I'm left with a gravity of 1.030 after 3 weeks in primary. After two weeks I added a package of dry ale yeast to see if it would get any lower, but it has remained steady at 1.030. I'm getting ready to bottle and needed advice on how much priming sugar to add. I'm worried about exploding bottles, and don't want to add to much. I was planning on adding about 3 oz of corn sugar, but with the high amount of unfermentables I'm not sure if that's too much. on the other hand if it's unfermtable sugars why would that cause them to explode?
here is my recipe...
