Well it looks as though I'm going to be brewing two batches of beer in the coming days. I ordered two kits from Northern Brewer last week and should be getting them tomorrow or Wednesday sometime. If all goes well they should be in the primary thursday night. I ordered an Irish Red Ale and a Nut Brown Ale. Hopefully I will have decent luck with these. These will be #5 and 6 for me. My last batch came out decent though it was way over carbonated for some reason. Maybe one of you guys might have an idea. All I know is that when I open a bottle, the head immediately foams out the top of the bottle. If I am quick enough I can pour into a glass, but the head is still a huge problem as it takes me about 10-15 minutes to pour one beer. I'm not sure what caused this as this is the only batch so far that has done this. The only thing i can think of would be too much aeration when putting in primary. Could this cause this? Ive had one bottle out of the batch so far that wasnt over carbonated...
Anyways, I'm looking forward to these beers and will hopefully convince a buddy of mine to start home brewing himself. I believe he is going to come over for the brewing stage and then hopefully for the bottling stage
Any comments are welcome.
