So I have made a porter, it took 9 days to ferment. I say 9 because after day 7 it was reading at a constant FG of 1.023. Now I added my priming sugar two days ago, and put them into bottles. Two are not traditional growlers, and the rest are these.

I opened the non-traditional growlers, they are well carbonated already, and the second one, when opened, started rising as a beer would if shaken, which I sort of did when picking it up, almost overflowing.
Now I am happy and worried same time. Happy that carbonation is really happening, but wondering is this normal? Did I create a bomb? I checked the FG for 3 days before bottling, and nothing seemed to be a problem.
