So i came home tonight to find beer on my kitchen floor and when i opened the cabinet where i was storing my bottles i found this....
Sooo...upon consulting my new "how to brew" book (that i bought about 3 hours ago) i popped all the tops on the remaining bottles for around 30-45 minutes. I waited for all of them to stop foaming out the top and re capped.
^^^this was the only one that did this continuing fiz after i'd popped the tops.
after seeing that last pic i'm very glad they were contained in this cabinet.
So, they are 1 liter bottles. i added 2.5tsp of regular table sugar per direction from Mr.Beer himself.
My book says three possibilities. Wild yeast, too much priming sugar, and perhaps i bottled before fermentation was complete. I'm planning on getting better equipment before my next batch, but are there any suggestions? Different bottles, priming tablets, ANY thing. This really freaked my wife and i out. I don't want the risk of anyone getting hurt to end this new hobby.
