So I think I just messed up a bit.
Brewing a German Wheat beer, just bottled today after 2 weeks of fermentation.
Ok... so I grabbed the bag of Corn Sugar from my LHBS that SHOULD have been the right amount for the recipe, as the directions said, but as I got to the very last bit of sugar sliding out of the bag and into my waiting to be bottled brew... I noticed it had "1#" on the bag.
sweet spaghetti monster in the sky, have I created bottle bombs? It's 5.5 gallons or so, all freshly bottled, and laying on their side in a thick plastic container...
What can I expect, and what should I do? It looked like 1.5 or maybe 2 cups of sugar in the bag, so I'm assuming it really was a full pound, and not the 5-6 ounces the recipe says is in the bag.
