Hi all,
I brewed my second all grain and yet again had this problem. When I open the beer bottle I get a LOT of foam coming out instantaneously... I think it is because the bubbles form around the sediment that keeps at the bottom.
Basically, a lot of this light cream color dusty sediment forms during the fermentation. I went from only primary in my first all grain to primary and secondary in this second time, reducing the amount of sediment but by no means eliminating it completely.
I have read that gusher infections might cause this if some of your bottles are not well sanitized. The thing is I sanitize them well enough and it happens in all the bottles. So I think the dusty sediment particles act as centers around which the CO2 can become gas when the pressure drops. Also, I tried the two first beers after only 4 days from bottling this second all grain just for testing and all the foam was already forming again.
Then the question here is: is this sediment really causing the problem? How do I get rid of it?
