Over filled fermenter

[BadBeatSab]

hi guys. I’ve just put my 3rd brew in the fermenter, just another extract , kit, w/e.

Anyways I was a bit distracted with kids and accidentally filled the fermenter up to 25 litres when 23 is recommended.

So thought I would ask before I pitch yeast . What should I do if anything?
Should I remove 2 litres or just go with the amount I’ve got?

Thanks in advance.

Just pitch the yeast, you'll have two litres more finished product, with slightly less ABV.

Ok. Yeah I was guessing that was the case but hoping to avoid losing some ABV.

Thanks for the reply.

Meh - just means you'll be able to drink a little more without getting shit-faced

While I’m here I’m wondering if anyone has had issues putting carb drops in 330ml bottles at all?
Given they are 40ml less than the recommendation of 375ml , just wondering if they over prime and explode or do they do ok?

I bottled a few today because I got them cheap but I’m separating them for conditioning just in case.

They do fine. The beer I buy comes in 330ml bottles so I dont have any 375's.

I always bulk primed when I bottled. 330 are a good size, sure its more bottles to clean ect but I found that they were perfect for pouring into schooners and would fit upright on shelves in my fridge
