I never use more than 3 oz of corn sugar. Even if it's not well primed after 2 weeks, the wait is always worth it. The priming naturally takes longer with less sugar, but it will eventually carbonate well enough. Also, over-primed does NOT mean undrinkable. I can't believe you just fucking dumped your homebrew like that. Totally could have just let it settle. 15 minutes, pour those in a pint glass and enjoy. If happens again, uncap all remaining, let settle, and recap. They'll be fine!!

[Anonx82]

If this happens to your beer, just add less sugar?

[DJGURRELA]

im glad wine is different I could add as much sugar i want and it not foam

[rocknrollpriest]

Nuuuuuu!! This video had a sad ending. =(

i wish i was the sink drain...>

[kybourbon1]

2 dead soldiers. you should of played taps.

[aarossell]

@kybourbon1 should "have". You internet people have a grammar problem.

[mrburkett1645]

beer going down the drain makes me sad =[

[nazgulazul]

maybe a contamination????

[aarossell]

@nazgulazul No, he just used twice the necessary amount of priming sugar.

[zurus]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALL  DON'T

[poorperson]

thats a nice head

Elevation of where you live comes into play!

[fatsachs]

I don't really understand how people make this mistake. If you're brewing a kit it comes with the priming sugar, if it's from a recipe it should call for the correct amount already. Also why would the beer be undrinkable? let it sit and flatten a bit if it's too soda like at first then drink that damn beer!

[p00pindas00p]

Why does this render the beer undrinkable?

[faroutadventures]

Pour it in a pitcher and let it settle out. It's driinkable.

[istadiga]

Sometimes it's not just over priming. Not letting your beer ferment long enough before bottling can cause the same problem. I say fuck it drink up.

[bblohoweak]

there's still glass shards in the ceiling of my old apartment...

[ELuna3693]

one tear slowly running down my cheek...

[MrThomas343]

you said you use 1cup of sugar, i use 3/4 of a cup with no problems. try holding the over your mouth and away from the sink=problem solved.

[samljer]

Ive never actually overprimed beer.

why does it render the beer undrinkable?

id imagine once it settles down

you have a good half bottle of beer left

at least you can still drink that bit yea>?

[samljer]

Quick suck the bottle, let none escape.

[Meatball358]

the 2nd one you opened looked like it was gonna be fine for a second there lol....that sucks man...how much priming sugar did you use??

[brewssuds]

I used 1 1/2 cups instead of the usual 1 cup.

[cymru3232]

@brewssuds I'd say not just priming sugar. I am sure you know what ya doing but it looks a touch like the SG wasnt down enough and fermentation was ever so slightly still going. Here's what i do.. pour it into a jug and put immediately into the fridge. the head will dissapate really fast and then pour it into your glass. Its fine. The extra priming sugar will give it another 0.25+ ABV =) All home brewers should have jugs in your fridge with your glasses. Keep the jug away from soap wrinse water

[videodownhiller]

@brewssuds I'm pretty sure the "usual" is 3/4 cup per 5 gallon batch...

[Helloween85]

crap man :(

My bottles are going to blow up :°/ Already 3 after 3 weeks from priming, has gone BOOM :(((

[killmypain666]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[kneace]

I bet you won't do that again....In that case, sometimes chilling the beer down to almost freezing could help that effect. You'll lose come head, but it will be drinkable. Cheers

[TylerSpilker]

Well, the important thing in deciding is how does it taste? Chug them and have burping contests

[aekdbbop]

lucky you didnt get any bombs..

[sbbinahee]

How much priming sugar DID you use?

Did you lose the entire batch?

[quickm132]

what do you do to it

[BobbyFromNJ]

Or bottling too soon... or getting a gusher infection.. or not mixing the priming solution well enough.
