Bottling problem?

[GazOC]

Hi guys,

I bottled my first brew (lager) into 1 litre PETS on Monday with priming sugar but I must have gotten a little excited as what I thought at the time looked like the recommended 1.5"-2" head space I should have left in the bottles now looks like 3" or more in the cold light of day.

Is it worth me unscrewing the bottles, losing the 2 days of carbination and topping up the bottles or am I better off leaving alone?

Regards
Gaz

Just leave it.

Loosen the top . . . squeeze the bottle to eliminate some/all of the air, tighten cap, as the beer carbonates the bottle will return to its normal shape.
