I bottled an American Wheat on 3/16 and when I went into my beer closet to grab some brews to take to a friend I noticed the caps were bulging. I freaked out a bit because I can't imagine how much pressure it took to bulge the caps like that. I knew what had to be done.
I closed the box up and took it to the kitchen. Using an oven mit and sunglasses I proceeded to open the 12 bottles in the sink. They gushed like Old Faithful. I didn't have the stomach to taste it, but it smelled heavily of apple. It's a shame because the beer was pretty tasty before the infection took off and there weren't any signs of infection prior to today. I just gave a buddy a few two weeks ago.
Oh well, I guess I need to brew again!
