Bottling question

[worpion]

i bottled my beer 4 days ago and its already carbonated and seems to be just a little too much not gushers .if i refrigerate them then open they are much better is it because the temp in my basement is too high it is like 73 degrees

How much priming sugar and what kind did you use? How big was the batch? 73 degrees would not matter.

That's not an excessive amount of sugar. You need to refrigerate the beers to lower the CO2 pressure in the headspace, and also prevent the CO2 in the beer from coming out of solution too quickly. Two days or more in the fridge before opening is best. The headspace CO2 pressure lowers most due to additional absorption into the beer, and this takes some time.

Brew on
