I bottled an irish red 2 weeks ago. I had some in 3 12oz bottles with a squeeze cap, one 750l magnum and the rest in swing tops. I had them in a closest at about 75 to 77 degrees. I put the 3 12oz in the freezer and they came out perfect. The magnum was a little flat but good. I put 12 swing top that were on top (I had 2 boxes) in the fridge. I came home 12 hours later and they were flat as hell. I opened one on the bottom box and it was over carbonated. I put them in the fridge and freezer and they are good now. Can anyone explain why this is if they were in the same closest in the same conditions but the bottom box was a lot more carbonated???? I have since bought 2 5 gallon kegs and co2 so I won't have to deal with this hopefully but any advise would be helpful.
Thanks all,
