Never ask a friend to...

I registered here just now because about 10 min ago I was transfering my "corona clone" into a secondary fermenter and my buddy misunderstood me when I was explaining the homebrew process. After I finished racking to the second, he dumped my bottling primer into the fermenter! I am "newer" to this but am I to assume that the batch is ruined? Help anyone?

Sorry. Yes I have a lot of frustration and anger with him right now. While I was racking into the secondary,I was explaining how natural carbonation results from adding sugar at the bottling process. He saw "glass carboy" and thought "bottle process" and dumped in the priming sugar while I was elevating the racking cane. 3/4 cup of sugar. Will it affect the alcohol content?

 

Marginally, I think I read somewhere on here about a cup of priming sugar adds like .002 to your gravity

 

Just wait a few days to a week for it to ferment the priming sugar that he added. Then add more priming sugar and bottle.

 

You guys are awesome. I really appreciate your help.

Welcome to HBT! Sorry but that is just a tiny bit funny. To me, not to you I'm sure.
It shouldn't effect your brew much at all. Ferment the sugar our for a couple weeks and proceed as normal. Don't forget to buy more priming sugar.

 

"corona clone"????? all you need now is some U.V. Light.


kidding

 

Ensure you're bottling in 100% UV transparent bottles infused with skunk gland extract. Always worth it to go the extra mile.

 

Actually... I steeped for 30 min a tarsal gland from the deer I took on the bowhunt last year. It adds a nutty flavor you can't reproduce with skunk. JK

 

good to know, thanks

 

time heals most beers.

You have to mess up pretty seriously to toss a batch. About the only thing that cannot be recovered from is an infection, and I am sure that several people can tall you how to recover from that even!

 

Yeah, just call it 'farmhouse'

'This was... uh... spontaneously fermented. On purpose.'

 

You will be just fine. And regardless of what these others say, I like Corona as well. Never had a skunky one in Mexico, but they seem to be a bit too common here.

 

Was talking to a guy at work (who I turned on to homebrewing) this AM. He brewed his first batch over the weekend. Bought a kit. Added the prming sugar to the fermenter just prior to the yeast.

We was worried too. The yeast will eat that up. No harm done for a first batch!!
