I am new to this but from everything I have read here and in books you need to leave a little room in the bottle. Approx. 1" or so..due to the pressure that is built up during carbonation. I hope someone else will chime in here as well because I think you may be mistaken.;)

Good Luck with the Beer and the Power...my parents live in NH and also got slammed with that same storm last week. They have been told that they may not have power until after the first of the year:(.. Keep warm!
