So I bottled my Apfelwein last night using a mix of standard 12 oz bottles. It was about 3 gallons (a little less) at 65 deg. F. Excited to use my new bench capper, I neglected to change the bottled volume in my calculator from 5 to 3 gallons. So I used 5.6 oz table sugar in a 2.8 gallon-ish batch at 65, equating to about 4.7 volumes CO2. What should I do here? I don't want 30 bombs in my closet!
This is my first bottling mistake. We all learn from them, but dang is it annoying and potentially detrimental to my bottle collection.
