Today, after weeks of waiting and wondering I finally was ready to open my first bottle from my first batch of brew, an all grain Irish red ale. My girlfriend and I sit down in the living room with two pint glasses eagerly waiting to try it. I pop open the first bottle cap to an explosion. Beer shoots over everything. The TV, couch, magazines, coffee table, me. Within a second all the beer was gone.
Does anyone have any clues as to what might have caused it? Im hesitant about opening any of the other bottles with this batch just yet.
The second batch, an Apple and Cinnamon holiday brew, did not have this issue and came out fairly tasty.
I do not have hydrometer readings. This will be next on my purchasing list before I begin brewing more and larger.
