I'm new to all grain brewing. I recently brewed an Irish Red and there seems to be inconsistency with carbonation from bottle to bottle.
To give a background I did 7 days primary fermenter at 70
7 days secondary at 70
14 days secondary at 50
after bottling went back to 68 for 21 days
When I've opened my bottles, I've had some beers overflowing with head spewing out of the bottle when I opened it and others that don't have any head at all. I thought at first maybe the yeast went dead so I shook some of the bottles prior to putting in fridge. My only other thought is I syphoned too much trub into some of the bottles.
Anybody else know what may have caused this?
