They were bottled for over two weeks, were in the fridge for a couple of days. I didn't take another reading with the hydrometer. I guess I need to be a little more thorough if I am going to want answers to my questions!
This happened with my first two Saisons and now again with my Scotch Ale. I opened the bottles and once it sets for a moment, it will just continue to foam out the bottle for several minutes. I thought the problem with the first two was too much priming sugar but I got it just right with this...

I had various types of bottles. I had the little flip top grolsh bottles, regular...
This may sound silly, and the problem is only arising because I am forgetful, but I went to bottle my third batch of beer today and I could not for the life of me find my priming sugar anywhere. The batch is from a kit and it made me wonder if ALL beer uses priming sugar when bottling? As in...
