First two brews questions

[ezboarderz]

Ok well my first two brews were a dunkelweizen and a hefeweizen and they have been in the bottle for a week, and i decided i would try one of each to see how they are doing. I believe that already they are over carbinated, because they are foaming up quite a bit. Should i toss them all in the fridge to make sure I dont get any bottle bombs or will they be ok as is.

By the way they both taste delicious =)

how long does the foam last?

 

[ezboarderz]

oh and i used 3/4 cup of the corn sugar for carbination, which seems to be a bit much.

Thats about right for priming. Young beers will foam a lot in the begging. This is because the co2 that is building up has not had enough time to mix in the beer.

Your brew is probably good. RDWHAHB.

oh excellent. =) this is the first time i can actually say im having a home brew. God damn this is delicious =). I am now addicted to this hobby =)

They should foam less after there chilled. but wait until there done.

Congrates on your brew. Now get to work on the next batch they dont last long!!!

yeah well i have already been on that. My two primaries are full with a belgian blonde and an english brown ale. I will keep brewing as my carboys get emptied. I honestly want to thank everyone for the wealth of knowledge at this website.

I guess i didn't need to go to bevmo tonight afterall.
