I have been having a problem (since resolved) with my siphons leaking when transferring to bottling bucket / bottles. I added a hose clamp that you screw tight to take care of that issue.
My question is will this air leak cause the yeast to be more active in the bottle and over carbonate / cause gushers?
My bottles are stored in the basement at about 60/62f this time of year. After a few weeks, my latest batch seemed to be doing fine. But, it's been about 5-6 weeks now, and last night when I opened a couple, both started foaming out of the bottle. They don't have a really off twang like infections sometimes do, but, I'm sure they aren't competition quality either. Anyway, I was wondering if the aeration could be the cause or I need to look elsewhere for my problem.
