Ironically enough, it's not my beer. A buddy gave me 12 of his first batch. He'd screwed up priming (forgot to boil the sugar, just threw it into the bottling bucket) and probably also bottled before fermentation was done.
The first 3 were flat - so I'd left the rest to carbonate - and the next 2 were overcarbonated. I started worrying about bottle bombs, and sure enough, when I checked, one had popped.
I've thrown the remaining 6 into the fridge, to be drunk tomorrow!!!, but worry that cooling them will pop them in the fridge. Worried that SWMBO might get hurt....or me...
Will cooling them tend to pop them quicker? if yes, then I'll pull them out, put them in the garage, and drink them warm.
It's a shame, because it's a really good beer, just overcarbonated. An amazing first effort.
For my beers, I'm having trouble getting enough carbonation, and he gets too much...*SIGH*
