Just bottled a batch of "Beach Blonde Ale" last night.
I used Safebrew-33 as my yeast for this batch.
This beer came out a bit hazier then expected, and it's been 16 days since primary fermentation started. (in other words, I bottled 16 days after fermentation started.) OG - 1.062 - FG - 1.012.
This yeast took off fast and basically all airlock activity stopped after 36 hours.
72 degrees was the fermentation temp. Dropped to 64 degrees after airlock stopped activity.
In just 2 hours after bottling I noticed bubbling in the bottle. Already working to carbonate. My concern is today (12 hours after bottling) I can actually see the yeast moving up and down in the bottle like it's still fermenting. What concerns me is....DO I HAVE BOTTLE BOMBS IN THE WORKS or is the beer so light in color (3.71 L) that it's just easier to see?
I don't need these things to start exploding in a few days.
Should I put these beers in the fridge and eventually "open and recap" or just let it go and see what happens? (I don't need to clean up a mess or have anyone get hurt.)
I have the bottled beers in open boxes, w/plastic garbage bags over them just in case. Any thoughts from BOTTLE BOMB experts???
Lastly, I primed with 3.5 oz. of corn sugar/brown sugar mix. w/ 16 oz. of water, (4.75 gallon batch) If that helps any questions.
