My first 5gal brew, netted 44 bottles.
Now the wait begins, and the 2nd batch boils tomorrow.

My house is at a constant 79° and my beers are in the pantry.Very nice!
Can you keep a secret?
You can fully carbonate bottles in 3-4 days. Shhh! Not too loud.
Store bottles at 72-75F.
3-4 times a day for the first 2-3 days, flip the bottles upside-down and back again several times to rouse all the yeast sediment from the bottom (gently, don't shake).
Allow one additional day to rest. It should be clearing. Put a few bottles in the fridge for 1-2 days and then drink up!
I use corn sugar for priming, not sure if that matters. People say it doesn't, but they also say bottle priming takes 2-4 weeks.
This works best for session beers and 2 week primary or less. Adding a half packet of Premier Cuvee at bottling does a wonderful job very quickly for higher ABV and longer ferments.
.. Of course it may take additional weeks or months for flavor to peak, depending on beer style and other factors. So impatience isn't necessarily rewarded.
Store them cold once carbonated.
Cheers
This shouldn't be happening. Improve sanitation and ensure correct priming sugar calculations & mixing.over carbonation from likely infection or wild yeast.
We always line are beers up, nicely, don't we? Kind of like combing your hair for a picture. Yours are even symmetrical.My first 5gal brew, netted 44 bottles.
