I bottled my buddies beer, as he is off on a long business trip. I took a pic of the foam in the primary fermenting bucket before I bottled it.
I helped him brew it and the only thing I can think of that we did different from my two batches was he used bleach to clean his buckets, I used some cleaner from the beer store.
After almost 2 months in the bottles, I opened one tonight. It literally poured foam all over the place, til no beer was left in the bottle (12 oz test bottle), so I wasn't able to taste it. I looked downstairs and the bottoms blew off two of the 22 oz bottles. What was odd was one of the caps sorta got sucked in on of those two bottles....almost like a vacuum....odd.
Is the beer infected? Should I chuck it and save the bottles?
Oh and it was a Honey Wheat Beer or Honey Hefeweizen...can't remember which one he did.

It was in the primary fermentation bucket for around 10 or 12 days and I didn't notice any bubbling before bottling...unless it was bubbling every 5 minutes or so...didn't wait that long.
