I bottled my first batch of beer about 3 days ago. So the first thing I did was boil 5 Oz. of priming sugar and put it in the bottom of the bottling bucket B/C I felt it would mix better if I suphioned the beer on top of it. And as I was getting everything ready my gf looked in the bottem of the bucket and being the kind loving cairing pirson that she is dumped out my priming sugar thinking it was water left in the bottem of the bucket from sterolization.
No big deal I have been doing a lot of reading on this forum and know that you don't have to use priming sugar to carbonate your beer, so instead of using 5 Oz of priming sugar I just used 4 Oz of sugar in the raw instead. Now I also know that its the diffrence between night and day waiting only 1 week to drink your beer as apoised to 2 weeks but I got anxious and drank a bottle only 3 days in and the one bottle I drank was VERY carbonated (and it tasted fine too) now my fear is that b/c the one bottle I tasted was so carbonated after only 3 days should I still wait a week or 2 or should I just put them in a cold place now to stop the carbonation process?
thank you for your feedback
