Hello!
I am getting close to the end of my first homebrew batch not to worry though as I have another batch that should be hitting its maturity within the next few days.
However, when it comes to the bottles I use I am pretty much limited to twist off's as I dont have to many of the pry off's or popper style bottles.
That said, I do have a pop off style bottle, I believe they call them kolsh. Anyways, I opened it last night and it was like opening a champagne bottle! The contents came flying out much like a volcano. I nervously put the cap back on and marched over to the sink where I opened it again and let it spew its contents for what seemed like a minuite or so.
Any ideas as to why this kind of thing might occur? I believe I may have filled these bottles around the end of the bottling bucket? Either way, I was still able to drink the beer that remained and it tasted much like the reset of the batch. I just though it was wierd as none of the other bottles exuded this type of behavior when being opened.
Do you think its because the seal is better on this type of bottle? Maybe it was just a fluke?
