Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Well Folks, Just when I think I’ve got the hang of this, something new comes up. : ) I have a continuous brew and have a regular brew. Both doing fine. I have been bottling, adding about 2 teaspoons of blueberries and letting it sit a couple days on the counter. I have been burping them daily since I’m using GT bottles but, there really hasn’t been very much to burp meaning little fizz. I then added 1/8 – ¼ teaspoon of sugar when I added the blueberries thinking this would give more fizz. Still leaving on counter for 2 days. No big change. Then today I took a bottle that I had let sit on the counter with no sugar or blueberries for 3 days (today being the 3rd day) thought I’d better add those things if I wanted that batch flavored and noticed I had a lot bubbles when I opened it (big burp too). I added the fruit and then added the sugar. Wow! I had a volcano spewing. Good thing I was over the sink. Next I started burping a batch of bottles that already had the blueberries and sugar that had sat for 3 days. I had to burp each bottle several times very slowly to keep them from overflowing. I couldn’t believe the difference an extra day made. Kind of scary, too. Is that typical? At first, I thought it was adding the sugar on the 3rd day that did it but, then when the batch that had it added the first day also spewed on the 3rd day made me think it was purely the extra day. Am I thinking right? Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
