The last two batches I've made, both from extract kits, appear to be over carbonated. Not every bottle, but most of them. When I pop the lid...sploosh.. foam overflow everywhere. And the eruption is pretty violent.
I'm not handling the bottles that foam up any differently than the ones that don't, and I've not had this problem with any other batches. I've followed the recipe exactly for these last two, no deviations, and used only the priming sugar that came with the kit.
The only thing different on the last batch is I got busy and let it sit in the seconday glass carboy for almost 2 mos. before bottling it, but I don't see that causing the foam issues.
Ideas? Thanks.
