Thanks everyone.. I put 1 iin the freezer for 30mins then popped the top and there was no explosive result. So I poured it in a glass and man it was all head!!!! so hopefully fri/sat I'll freeze pop and let them stand then reseal them after 3-4 hours. Thanks everyone.. Pete

My buddy said, when he opened the one beer I gave him it was like champagne.. So I'll try but I just don't know if it's going to work. Maybe I can put it back in a bucket and then let it ferment again.. not sure what to do. -P

LOL Funny thing, this is the 1st time I didn't use a hyrdrometer :( mine went MIA and I just went by the bubbler.. I refrigerated my beer, do you think letting it flatten out or freezing it and thawing to referment will work? Anyone? P

So real quick, made an IPA after a month and 2 stages of fermentation there was no activity. I bottled, a week or so ago, yesterday KABOOM! Bottle bomb, I immediately put them in the fridge... I just read this: If you know or suspect that a batch has been overcarbonated, treat it carefully...

I spun my carboy to make sure there was no more movement in the bubbler and there wasn't, it went 2 stages for atleast 4.5 weeks I believe and the last week there was no movement. I'm guessing the primer reignited the fermentation? What can I do let it sit for a long time or what? Will...

How do I do this? I've NEVER had priming issues w/ bottling so I have no idea hot to attack this. Basically it sounds like the co2 that in these bottles is built up that popping the top it going to make it more like Champagne than a beer. I check my 2nd before I racked them, there was very...

I'm bringing this back from the dead... I did 5oz of priming sugar with 2 cups of water added it to the bottling bucket, and bottled no problems. It sat for a week or so then yesterday POW! Bottle bomb! so I refrigerated them, my buddy tried one last night and said it was just all foam... is...
