Message Ordgz 13:02 Thu 8/11/2016 One of my friends accidentally boiled a whole 1lb bag of for corn sugar and added to our 5 gallon batch. Any ideas of what will happen? I’m pretty nervous, hoping it nothing goes wrong.
Message spacecoyote 13:14 Thu 8/11/2016 For bottle priming? If so, dump them before they explode.
Message barncatmatt beers 2287 º places 71 º 13:18 Thu 8/11/2016 How long has it been in bottles? Id open them all soon.
Message MonsterMagnet beers 1955 º places 15 º 13:21 Thu 8/11/2016 Originally posted by spacecoyote For bottle priming? If so, dump them before they explode. Indeed, let it out! Perhaps you can gently pour all the beer back in a fermentation vessel, let it ferment out and bottle again with a proper amount of sugar?

Any idea how long I should let it ferment out ? My opinion, don’t bother. It’s going to oxidize terribly at this point, if you open those bottles and pour them back in to a fermenter. Just dump it down the drain. Cut your losses, scold your friend.

Message StefanSD beers 2449 º places 57 º 17:41 Thu 8/11/2016 You are not a real homebrewer until you’ve had to mop the ceiling. You may well be on your way son.
Message mixmasterob beers 1060 º places 11 º 21:15 Thu 8/11/2016 Haha. Nothing like brewing your first stout and having 40 bottles explode. Reminds me of college. Mega mess.

I have yet to mop my ceiling. Though I did have to cut the carpet out of a room after a keg unloaded itself very slowly...
