I made a clone of Brooklyn's Pennant Ale '55. The beer was bottled, and after around three weeks tasted fantastic. I have now had it "conditioning" for about 7 weeks, and each beer tastes more carbonated than the last. I attempted to carbonate to 2.3vols CO2, which is what I thought the style called for. There seems to be no risk of bottle bombs, but the extra carbonation gives a harsh-ish taste now (much hoppier too).
Is there anything I can do to eliminate this? Raising temperature? Opening the beer and leaving it to stand before drinking it? I still have around a dozen bottles left and I want the taste of three weeks ago back !
