Used wrong priming sugar and too much

[Garfield]

Sorry, your right it is dextrose on the box.( They are however biochemically identical. Dextrose is the name given to glucose produced from corn. )

Good to know. Cheers

I made a similar mistake on bottling day once. Twice as much sugar bulk primed. On a whim I decides to half fill each bottle so the extra co2 saturates the head space. It worked! No boom boom and perfect carbonation in the glass of beer. I wonders if the same method would work if you siphon half to another keg I.E. two half full kegs left to carb up.

BTW I'm just about to move to kegs for the first time. Is there much difference between sugar priming or force carbonating with gas?

Cheers

The main reason for me was to save on gas an not having to guess with force carb. I could let it sit on a low pressure for 5 days on the gas but not set up correctly in gas line to do it. This way i just put the keg in the fridge the day before i need it to chill. Put the gas on between 5 - 10 an perfect pour. The first to pints might be cloudy but clears up after that.

Dextrose is just an old fashioned name for the common form of glucose no matter where it comes from. The name arose because the common form of glucose is the dextrorotatory* enantiomer**. We associate it with glucose produced from maize because Septics make their glucose that way and they often use the old fashioned name but this isn't a causal linkage.

Anything labelled glucose will almost certainly be the dextrorotatory form (d-glucose): the laevorotatory form (l-glucose) is only available from specialist suppliers and will cost you about a hundred bucks a gram.

* so named because it causes polarised light to rotate clockwise as it passes through the material. ( Dexter = right in Latin ). If it rotates the light anticlockwise it is laevorotatory. Same convention as screw threads. Note the lower case l- and d- prefixes, upper case prefixes have an entirely different meaning.

**It can happen that there are two molecules that are made up of the same number and type of atoms and are thus isomers of each other but which rotate light in different directions. They are then called enantiomers. Many organic chemicals are enantiomeric including glucose, fructose, all the organic acids I can think of and all the amino acids except glycine.

BTW the common form of fructose is l - fructose, so it is sometimes called levulose.

What can I say but informative and this is how you learn things and expand your knowledge.

 

[Garfield]

Learn? I'm lucky if I can even pronounce half the words. LC does it again. I'll catch up one day soon I'm sure. Cheers

I wouldn't classify SOAD as Nu Metal. if you listen to that first album its way different then what the Nu metal bands were doing at the time ..

I love that first album. yeah it way rawer than toxicity but I think its better

 

[Chods1]

Christian nu metal. One of the best ever genres.

What sort of genre is that? Never heard of it!

Just a update for everyone. It had a lot of head so had to keep mucking around with the psi. Taste was still ok. Learnt my lesson. Won't do it again. Thank you everyone for your helpful information. Cleaned beer line after it just incase.

all of a sudden the term "ambidextrous" makes more sense to me. i really gotta have a session with LC one day ! buddy your wasted on these forums . really love your bikes as well.

you can flatten beer a bit the opposite way of force carbonating it, just shake a little then vent, repeat a few times until you reach desired carbonation. your beer lines wouldn’t hold any notable amount of extra pressure so addressing the lines would be a moot point regarding carbonation levels.
