Over Filled Bottles - Carbonation

[Galactar]

I bottled my first batch last Sunday and now a week later I noticed that most of the bottles have only 1/2" to 3/4" of headspace. I assume I am going to have very low if any carbonation.

What are my options to fix this?

I brewed an American Amber from a kit.

Thanks for your help

just let them age longer and they will be alright.

Actually, you want headspace. if you used a bottling wand, it displaces the correct amount of beer to give you the right headspace.

perfectly normal.

yeah, that bottling wand is awesom. EVERY bottle has the exact same amount of headspace, EVERY time.

The majority of carbon dioxide is dissolved in the liquid...don't worry about a thing.

Thanks for the feedback - I'll have a bottling wand before the second batch!
