While helping my brother in law move yesterday, I got the dreadful call from my extremely annoyed wife. My bottles of home brew were exploding in the room upstairs where I placed them. Beer all over the carpet, glass everywhere. It was my first batch, a Belgian Tripel. The beer tasted good, a little bit excessive as far as fizziness. I know for sure that I bottled a bit prematurely, my FG should have been 1point lower, my fault for bad record keeping, but the beer had been in bottles for almost five weeks already. So I'm wondering if I should have moved them to a cooler place a little sooner. They were sitting near a window, in boxes, but the sun was beaming through. I've moved what's left to the garage in the hopes that the lower temp will decrease the pressure and halt anymore possible fermentation, preventing the survivors from succumbing to the same fate. Any opinions/similar experiences?
