I'm a newbie

[Karla Fandrich]

Just finished my first batch and messed up, was drinking and missed the step to leave the beer two weeks and put it the fridge overnight before I found mistake. Is it ruined?

 

[_BullDog_]

No. Have you bottled?

 

[Karla Fandrich]

No. Have you bottled?

I added the priming sugar and put in glass jars I was gonna put it in the kegorator. It's now in a dark place

Was it done fermenting?

If so just put it in the keg, let it carb and enjoy it.

If not let it finish fermenting, the sugar will make it a little thinner but shouldn’t be really impact it.

Which step did you miss - leave two weeks to ferment, or leave two weeks to bottle condition? (Note: To weeks is not a fixed time frame for either step.)

I just realized that it looks like you "bottled" in glass jars. AFAIK standard glass jars can't handle the pressure of conditioning. If I'm understanding correctly, this would be really dangerous - exploding glass jars.

Ok, I will not do that again, thank you for your help!

You have a major safety issue right now. I haven't had to deal with that problem, so don't have specific advice, but you need to deal with it right away. Maybe someone following this thread can help. But those jars could explode any time - I'm surprised they haven't already. If you're going near them, wear personal protective equipment (PPE). And keep others away. Please be very careful.

Beer is pretty forgiving as long as you're clean.

I'm relieved to hear that - good job.
