I know this has been addressed several times, but I was looking for possible reasons why this has happened. This was a wit beer made last summer. All of the bottles recently have just gushed completely out on opening. I opened the last few today and noticed some rather large nasty particles floating up from the bottom as the foam churned out. In the past, I sort of waited out the foam and drank it (didn't notice those particles), and the beer was fine. Even today the little bit I tried was good. So what is causing the foaming? And what are those particles on the bottom?
My notes tell me I bottled the beer only after three weeks in primary--no secondary. Too much yeast still in suspension? Infection? This has never happened before or since (overcarbonation--usually the opposite). I'm fairly sure I didn't use too much priming sugar. Any ideas? (chemistry, technical info welcome).
Thanks.
