Here is the deal; this is my 15th brew and I have only had one single beer ever explode on me and i think the bottle was bad..... but here is why i am worried this time and would love to hear anyones opinion.
Brewed a belgian wit with an OG of 1.048 on sunday july 19th. took a gravity reading on friday the 24th and the gravity was at 1.009. Took a gravity reading two days later on the 26th of july and gravity was the same; 1.009. Figured it was done so I bottled yesterday, july 28th; 1 week and two days since i brewed the beer.
I take a look at one of my grolsch flip tops 6 hours after bottling and it looks like a small amount of white bubbles at the top of the beer, I give the bottle a whirl and a decent amount of bubbles seem to rise to the top. I am thinking man are these already carbing?? I pop the top of the grolsch and there is already a slight carbonation pop.
Now today I grab a 12 oz bottle that i have from the same batch and place it in the fridge for an hour. I open the bottle cap and there is a pretty decent "pfft" that comes from the bottle, after only 24 hours of priming.
Any thoughts???
I am scared, and think that i should pop all caps and then re cap??
Any thoughts would be awesome
Thanks
