Opened 3 bottles during carbonation just for taste test?

[RobR]

Can my 3 bottles that i opened during carbonation i just had a sip of them then put the lid back on can i still drink these if chilled just finished the batch and got these 3 bottles an really could do with a few more beers

My question for you: why did you just sip them and put the top back on? Most folks take their analysis of mid-carbonation beers seriously and drink the whole bottle!

Seriously, you can still drink them, but there's a chance you have decreased their quality somewhat by a) introducing oxygen, b) releasing carbonation pressure. Both flaws will likely detract from the quality of the beer. However, they may still be drinkable, we have no idea how much you primed these bottles and what your sanitation regime was, so it's hard to say.

Just opened 1 still drinkable but like you say the quality is a bit of a difference but not much i just sipped them to taste how it was coming on

Do you mean you used Sodium Percarbonate to sterilise the bottles ?
How did you use this myo sanitiser?
Isn't the recommendation one carb drop per 500ml? If so why did you go for two?

The myo sanitizer i used as instructed then gave a rinse as it stated because its chlorine based

The pic doesnt give it justice with the tested bottles but tastes ok st peters ruby red

Nice colour i use clear glass ones also. It is easier to see the fill. I put swingtops on mine and re use till the rubber seal gives out.
