OK, so I found a video on over carbed beer. It shows the guy bleeding the pressure off several times over the course of a day. He just barely breaks the seal and there is no need to re-cap. I tried this and it seems to be working. Here is the site,

too cute

:ban:sweet:ban:

Me too. I have had a real problem with over carbing lately.

I just soaked a bunch of bottles last night. Hanger 24 and Indian Wells Brewery will be going the way of the recyclers. Widmer and Sierra Nevada were the easiest for me. Soaked everything in hot water and oxiclean.

so I,m not the only one who does this?

I am going to start a new batch in the next day or so, a tangerine wheat. I will let you know how it turns out. As for the bottles, I have been cleaning them just like you said,rinsing them when I get done with them. I just started within the last month. Before that I was trying to get them...

My little girl and I went to More Beer in Riverside, Ca. today for a brewing demonstration. One of the guys asked her what her favorite part of helping her Daddy brew was....she told him that DRINKING IT was her favorite part. That's my 6 year old, innocent, little girl... boy am I in trouble

That's what I thought. I was at a brew day/demonstration and they told me the info about keeping the beer cold. I have always stored my beer at room temp, except for a couple six packs.

OK, I got some more advice today and wanted to run it by you guys. I was told that after my bottled beer has reached what looks to be a good carbonation level then I need to put into the fridge to stop the process. I was told that I need to keep it refrigerated or else the carbonation process...

Well I cracked open one of my brews that came from the batch with the bottle bombs. It tastes really good. I am going to try and re-cap them and see how that goes. I really have a feeling that I have some sort of infection going. I have used the correct amount of sugar that the kit comes with...

What about some type of an infection or bacteria? I thought that I read on this site that gushers/bottle bombs could be caused by some type of an infection. This would make perfect sense. The last few batches have all had the same problem to a certain degree, with the last batch having 3-4 bombs...

Is there a way to save my over carbonated beer, or is it trash?

Only the last batch has had bottle bombs :ban:. The other two batches have just been really foamy, and tough to drink. I always check the gravity, so I don't think that is the problem. I just checked the recipe and it said that there is 4oz. of priming sugar. How do you mix your sugar. I will...

thanks, I will take a look

I left this last batch in the primary for almost a month. The other batches were about 2-3 between a primary and secondary. I really think they had finished fermenting, the gravity reading had stopped dropping when I bottled. I have seen guys on here talk about measuring out their...

So, I have been having trouble with the last three batches of beer that I have brewed. All have been over carbonated to some extent. The last being the worst, with multiple bottles exploding. All batches have come from Morebeer kits, but different recipes. Up until now I have not had any...

Hey guys thanks for the advice. Do you soak the zest in the vodka to kill all the junk that could contaminate the wort. Also, if I put the rind into the primary after it has stopped fermenting, how long should I leave it in. I am assuming at some point it will need to go into a secondary so that...

I am a novice brewer. I have only used beer kits, mainly from More Beer. My beautiful bride has just tasted a tangerine wheat from a local brewer, Big Bear Mountain Brewery and Pub, in Big Bear Lk, Ca. She has requested that I brew her up some of that great drink. I have done a little research...

thanks, I will try it.
