Opened up my first bottle of my second all-grain batch, and as I popped off the cap the beer shot straight out of the Bottle !! LoL, it scared the crap out of me.
After whipping down the counter, I grabbed a 2nd bottle and eased off the cap this time and poured a BiG Glass of hoppy head, 3rd bottle eased off the cap, and slowly poured out a nice looking Brew !!! Drinking that brew I noticed that the Head was almost like a ice cream float. Beer was nice, just cloudy and the head just all floated on top of the glass
Beer fermented out after 2wks, moved over to a 2nd Ferm, and bottled the next week. Primed in the bottles for 14days and put in my supper cold beer fridge for a wk or so.
Have to say, you guys make this sound and look real easy ! BUT I am hooked, and my little IPA tasted great
What did I do wrong ? Did I over carbonate the Beer ?? Does the beer need to age longer at room temp and cold age longer as well ??
