Just bottled from the keg for the first time. Used a bottle filler attached to a picnic tap at low pressure. After capping I notice that the beer in all bottles is bubbling like its in a glass. Up to the surface. Is this normal or am I in trouble???
Thanks for any feedback!
 
Normal. The CO2 is off gassing into the head space. It's a good idea to up the psi a few days before you bottle to help compensate for this CO2 loss. Also, I try to leave as small a head space as possible.
