I tried this recipe a month ago or so and followed all my usual sanatizing and bottling procedures but the beer ended up being over carbonated. In 8 years of brewing this has never happened. The beer would fiz like normal and then about 3 seconds after opening carbonation would come up from the sediment at the bottom of the bottle and literally fiz away half the beer.
Recipe
7lbs Light Malt Extract
1lb Light DME
1lb Numich
2 oz Black Roated
.5 oz Crystal 120L
Hops - .5 oz Munich 60 min
2 oz williamette 1 min
Whirfloc at 20 min
Corn Sugar for bottling.
The brew was in the primary fermentor for 10 days and then in the bottle for 10 days prior to popping the first bottles.
Any thought on why the bottles were over carbonated?
