over foaming in bottles

Hi I bottled my Cream ale about a 11 days ago I am pretty sure i did everything right. When I open up the bottle it foams up a little to the top of the bottle I have never had this happen with any of my other brews... I noticed the sugar packet to add while bottling was a bit larger than what I am used to could that be it ? Beer tastes fine BTW no problems

You waited 11 days!!!!!
I can only wait about six...seven tops. :cross:

You mentioned the sugar packet was larger than usual so that's probably it. If the bottle is warmer mine tend to foam more also.


Hey Revvy - I heard your name mentioned on Basic Brewing recently. James read my letter on that episode too (jason in Kentucky).

Cool!!!!

You were kidding about the 6-7 days, right? You do realize your beer's not ready yet...and your missing out on so much goodness.
