coming up short

[dheide]

I just finished bottling my second batch today, and for some reason I came up a little short. My last bottle is only about 3/4 full. My question is - am I going to have a problem with carbonation? I primed each bottle with the recommended amount of table sugar for a one liter bottle (I know, I know, not the best way to prime, but that's how I do it). I didn't want to "level out" the other bottles and risk even more sporadic sugar levels, so the last bottle has sugar for 1 liter, but only 3/4 of a liter of beer. Will it just carbonate faster? Or am I gonna get a beer fountain when I open it next weekend? Has anyone else had this problem?

No problem. You still have one liter of volume to fill with CO2...

But that just brings up another reason to bucket prime.

Should presure up ok, just dont enter that in a show, they gig you for low levels. Use that as your test beer in 2 weeks.:rockin:

I don't bottle much any more but I always used to have one or two "shorties" around just in case I had an odd amount left in the bucket. That way all my bottles were filled to the top. Oh and start batch priming-it's easier, faster, and all your bottles are carbonated the same. What's not to like?
