Hi All,
I managed to make it all the way to bottling day on my first attempt at homebrew (Midwest Irish Red Ale) before my first misstep:
I lost siphon when the fermenter still had about a gallon in it (half trub/half beer). The trub layer was soft so it easily mixed with the beer when i tried to re-start my siphon, so I just let it be. Because of this, my yield ended up being only slightly over 4 gallons in the bottle.
My question is...since I used nearly all of the priming sugar (5 oz) that came with my kit, have I over-primed the bottles? There's nothing I can do about it now, I'm just curious.
Thanks for your help,
