I brewed a hefe about 3 weeks ago with an OG of 1.046, and I bottled at an FG of 1.011. All of these numbers were what was described on the directions from Brewers Best. My final volume was closer to 4.5 gallons instead of 5 gallons. At bottling time I used the prescribed amount of priming sugar sent with the kit. It has been 7 days since I bottled and wanted to check on how it was going so I opened one that was at room temperature. Immediately upon opening the beer gushed out of the bottle. Can I expect this to be the case for the entire batch? If I chill the bottles down first will this still happen?
