I might have done something dumb.

I'm bottling my first batch in 10 years, a scottish red ale. One problem is I'm out of corn sugar, so I did a search of the forum to find out if I could prime with cane sugar. The only problem was I did not read all the threads until After I was done bottling and I used the full 3/4 cup called for in the recipe. It seems I should have used less cane sugar.
Do I have a higher chance of bursting the bottles? Should I condition it at a cooler temp? 45F instead of 65F? Or am I over thinking this?

Thanks

It'll be fine, cure them at 60 F until properly carbonated then chill and store at serving temperature.

I think the same - you'll be ok.

Well, it all worked out! I'm drinking my first bottle. Nice carbonation and no odd tastes. Thanks for the help.
