I just bottled a Weissbier and am wondering if I'm going to have bottle bombs. The beer fermented out completely in the primary and sat at the same FG for three days. I bottled it yesterday morning with 3/4C corn sugar. By this afternoon, about 30 hours after capping, the yeast had noticeably settled out. I've never seen this happen so quickly. Being the curious type, I popped one and, sure enough, it was carbed enough to give a satisfying pfft as the cap came off. I poured it and, low and behold, what a head! Carbonation and a good head within 1-1/2 days of bottling!
My question, then: should I expect these bottles to carb up in the next two weeks and start popping on me? I've never had bottle bombs before, but such fast carbing makes me wonder if I should store these somewhere else, like inside some Rubbermaid bins or something. Also, is there anything I can do, other than duck and run? Or just drink them all tomorrow, I guess.
