So yesterday I was bottling my 6th batch of homebrew, the AG version of Centennial Blonde by Biermuncher, and probably did a pretty stupid thing. Everything was going fine, the 18 liters (4.75 gal) of beer were primed with 107 grams (3.77 ounces) of cane sugar (for 2.5 vol of CO2, according to beersmith) in the bottling bucket and I was about to start filling those bottles. That´s when I realized I was missing my FG reading. I pulled a sample, set it aside, bottled, capped and stored the whole batch.
Only then I remembered to look at the hydrometer. It was reading 1018, when it should be much much lower, about 1010.
Could those 8 or more gravity points be due to the priming sugar? It seems a lot. Or did I have an incomplete fermentation and now am on my way to overcarbonation and bottle bombs?
My OG was 1046 and I fermented with Nothingan by Danstar for 16 days at 16-18 C (61-65 F), no secondary fermenter.
Thanks for helping. It´s my first post here, but I have been reading for quite awhile. This forum has been my major source of information.
I was actually planning to crack a bottle a day until carbonated and then chill the whole batch and drink as fast as can .
