On this last batch of brew I did an Irish Red. Did everything as normal with boiling the 5 ounces of corn sugar and racking on top of it. I got down to my last little bit in the bottling bucket and it only filled half of the bottle. I stuck that bottle in the fridge the other day as a sample and last night I popped the top on it. BIG HUGE pffftt and the volcano started...up and out came this massive amount of foam. Keep n mind that this was only a half bottle.
Im wondering if I should be worried about my others. Could the over carb had been caused because this WAS the last bottle and I got more yeast/trub in it than the other bottles? My FG had stopped and I left it in the carboy for a week after, so it was finished fermenting.
Any thoughts?
