Finally got to drink my first brew! Very tasty, buddy and I put down about 10 relatively quickly. I'll post pics and impressions later, but I noticed something odd with the carbonation.
Some were not quite carbed yet; not flat but low head while some others had a big foamy head that billowed up over the top. We had one gusher that basically drained itself in the sink. When their was a head, it was think and almost creamy.
The beer was a Brewer's Best Red Ale kit, so it was primed with the bag of dextrose that came with the kit. 2 weeks in primary, 3 weeks in bottle, and 2 days in the fridge before opened. I sanitized all the bottles in the dishwasher (brand new with a "sanitize" setting + added heat) and bottled out of that.
From what I understand, the undercarbed with eventually fix itself, but are they all destined to become gushers?
