Hi all. This may seem a bit of a daft question really.
I bottled my first brew a month or so back and have been trying a few of them.
I used bottles that I had previously bought and washed/sanitised them etc and have a mix of brown and clear glass.
I conditioned all the bottles the same and as per the instructions that I was following.
I find that the brown glass bottles are far gassier even to the point that when I open them it mixes all the settled sediment into the ale, so it becomes really cloudy again. I don't seem to have this problem with the clear bottles. Is this just something that happens or is one better than the other? I know brown protects better from uv but they are stored in the dark in my garage anyway.
Any thoughts on why this may be?
Thanks.
