Priming problems - help!

Post by TheMumbler » Tue Oct 27, 2009 6:36 pm

I've just bottled my first AG, a weissbier. I primed with 200g of wheat spraymalt boiled up with water and added to the bottling bucket and siphoned into there relying on the movement of the wort into the bucket to mix it. Now I know this is quite a bit of priming, but it is a fizzy stlye. However when I got to the bottom of the bottling bucket I found a thick sweet syrup...

So I have no idea how much sugar is in any given bottle but I'm thinking probably not too much. Should I uncap and add a bit of sugar or is this just asking for bottle bombs? Alternatively should I risk a flat weissbier? Aargh :(

Possibly no answer is the right answer but if it was me I would leave it and hope that there is enough already in the beers rather than risk bottle grenades.

You are probably right. Thanks.
