On my last batch, an imperial stout, I had a bit of a boilover. So instead of bringing volume up to an even 5 gallons I dropped it down to a little over 4 gallons. After racking to a secondary and transferring to the bottling bucket and adding 3/4 cup corn sugar and 2 cups boiling water I bottled as per the plan and instructions I was given. After bottling I only ended up with 40 bottles. Which is a little less than 4 gallons. Was that too much corn sugar? I'd rather not find out when bottles start blowing off caps or breaking. It's been 5 days since I bottled. My plan was to check at 10 days and if they seem well carbonated I would refrigerate them to tray and stop further carbonation. Am I correct in this thinking? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
