Fucked myself again...

[Hicksey5]

So I'm bottling my IPA and i'm all worried about everything else. I got all my stuff together the sugar, siphoned and the realized I lost my capper. My beer is in the bottling bucket and I only have 20 flip top(grolsch style) bottles. They are 1/2 liter bottles. So here's the question. I have 3 Larger 1 lt bottles. Think I'll be OK or will they blow up or anything. I'm going to do it regardless cause I don't wanna waste any beer i don't know what else to do?

They won't blow up, just use your normal amount of priming sugar

I'm so mad at myself I have a gallon of beer sitting in a bucket and i don't know what to do with it. Maybe this means its time to start kegging.

Go buy some seltzer water in PET bottles dump then and use the bottles

[Hicksey5]

how long can this beer sit in the bottling bucket?

[PseudoChef]

If you're sanitary, rather long. Only thing you need to worry about is oxidation, so I'd try to keep it under a day.

[Hicksey5]

Thanks guys.

[Evan!]

how'd you lose your capper? Thing is usually pretty bulky...

[Hicksey5]

Idk how i lost it. I have only been in this place a few months so still have boxes everywhere i think i mixed my brew gear in with trash and threw it out. I am missing some hop bags and some priming sugar.

Mac335 finally got home and we got the last bit into some bombers, using his capper. I hope sitting in the bucket for 2 hours is ok. I guess we'll find out.

And this is one hoppy beer can't wait to tr it.

2 hrs is nothing. Enjoy the brews!
