I ran into a bit of an issue this weekend. Opened up an APA and it started fizzing up pretty badly. Opened a second, and same thing. Drank both, and they were still carbonated and tasted fine, but I don't know why this would happen. I have drunk all but the last 6 or 8 bottles of the batch, and had this problem once before, early on - but none of the other 30+ bottles have done this. These bottles were stored at room temp since early Feb, and put into the fridge last week, but I don't know why that would make a difference, as there is only so much sugar in the mix for the yeast to consume.
I dissolved the priming sugar in two cups of water, poured that into the bottling bucket and racked the beer from the secondary onto that - so I think it should be mixed well enough. Like I said, every other one was fine, just thought it was odd that two in a row overflowed on me.
Thoughts?
