As I said in an earlier post, I just started my 4th batch. First 3 have been great, but the main complaint I seem to get from my friends is that my beer is too foamy. I'm guessing this is a natural occurrence from bottling at home, but I figured I would double check with all of you experts out there.
Is this the way homebrew is, or is there something I can do to lessen it? I pour the bottles into a glass and always have to wait for the foam to go down.
I typically condition part of my batch for a week, allowing most of it to condition for 2 weeks before putting it in the fridge.
The instructions that came with my kit suggested 1-2 weeks of conditioning, but I'm reading forum posts saying 3 + weeks.
(Note: So far I have only been brewing with malt extract kits from Northern Brewer...hoping to go all grain soon).
