So I'm sitting down watching TV and BOOM I hear an explosion in my closet. Of course, this is where I keep my beer. Out of sight from the evil sun and sitting in a black garbage bag.
Turns out a bottle from my Old Ale decide to relieve itself of it's neck and cap. LOL! Forgive my newbness, this is only my 3rd brew.
What causes this? Was the yeast not done fermenting? I had it in primary for a week and secondary for two weeks. It was fairly close to the final desired gravity. Here are the gravities for my recipe:
And carbonation:
Carbonation Type: Corn Sugar Volumes of CO2: 2.4
Pressure/Weight: 4.2 oz Carbonation Used: -
Keg/Bottling Temperature: 70.0 F Age for: 42.0 days
Storage Temperature: 70.0 F
I hadn't planned on tasting this for a month, but I decided to crack one to check the carbonation, being I had an explosion.
It seems a bit over-carbonated on the pour. i side poured at 45 degrees and had half a glass of transient head. The carb seems fine once the head settles.
Any ideas?
