Brewers,
I opened a beer that had been bottled for 3 weeks. Foam slowly welled up into the bottle. The beer then foamed up big time as I poured it into the glass. Decided I must have bottled it too early. Nope. Brewed on June 4th. OG =1.056. FG was 1.011 on 6/22, 6/25, and 7/1 when I bottled it. I just put some of the beer in my hydrometer and it read 1.008! I don't get it. Fermented for almost a month, gravity readings stable for 9 days when bottled. Gravity still dropped .003. Input?
