ok so i bottled for the first time a few days ago. It was an imperial ipa so i did not want to go too heavy on the carbing so i put 4.5 oz priming sugar in the 5 gal batch (exactly 5 gal). Now im getting worried i may have way undercarbed it.. or am i just being a nervous noob?

I vote for nervous noob...the standard amount pre-packaged in kits is between 4.5 and 5 ounces...
