Bottling two batches last night, I screwed up my second priming sugar addition for my Hop Ranch clone.
When I went to add the boiled and cooled solution to the bottling bucket, I opened the lid and discovered a mildly thick syrup... Stupidly, I poured it in anyway instead of redoing it. I must not have added enough water.
I made sure to stir extra long and a little more aggressively than usual (still being careful not to aerate), and I stirred it again halfway through filling the bottles, as well.
However - am I facing the potential for bottle bombs, or at the very least, inconsistent carbonation? I'm hoping that the solution reconstituted somewhat with the beer, but I just don't know.
Has anyone ever had this happen?
