the strangest thing and i can't figure it out.
Made a Jubleale clone, 5 gallon partial mash, and just tested a couple botttles 12 days after bottling. I popped them in the fridge for 48 hours to chill. After opening and pouring very carefully there was an amazing amount of head. It appeared at first that there was too much carbonation ( I used 4 oz raw sugar/2 cups water) as there were TONS of tiny bubbles floating to the surface just like a glass of champagne. The flavor was very sharp on the tongue and again tasted WAY over carbonated. Opened the second bottle and let it sit for a few minutes as I watched the bubbles rise like crazy in the bottle and slowly a head was forming in the bottle and eventually started coming out the top like a science project. This is my 10th batch and have never seen anything like this....question of the day: Is my beer ruined? The beer tasted great at bottling, but I guess an possible infection can come at any time.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
