I bottled my batch today and I only had one problem. I forgot the beer. Now I have 5 gallons of bottled ambient air.

Should I dump the air out and start over or should I let it sit the compulsory 3 weeks?

Before I realized that I hadn't actually put any beer in the bottles I dumped the contents of my bottling bucket down the drain (I thought it was the last part that's bad and full of yeasties).

Help me fast!!!:confused::drunk::cross:;)

I hate when people complain their bottles aren't carbed, even after 2 weeks. Just let it go the full 3 weeks before cracking one open.
 
Actually, I'd keep the (now empty) content of that bucket... who knows. It might be drinkable in a year from now. Relax, have a homebrew, blah blah. :D
 
Your Bud Light recipe sounds delicious. Can you post the recipe?

I'll post the recipe once I triple filter it.

I did open a bottle today, it's not quite carbed yet. It's still holding at about 78% nitrogen...

I'm gonna J-B Weld the labels on.

Do you think I should rack it to my secondary bottles?
