I bottled some Baltic Porter about 6 weeks ago.
I've noticed this porter becomes increasingly foamy after sitting in the bottle for over a month. The foam can be compared to the foam on a rootbeer float. I have entered this beer in contests before, and a similar note has been given during judging.
Also, I bottle condition the porter in a dark closet until I'm ready to drink it. I'll chill this beer by submerging into the ice machine in my freezer for about 30 minutes.
Is this normal for porter after it has been in bottle for more than 30 days?
Is the chilling process via the ice maker a contributing factor in the foamy nature of the beer?
Can I adjust the amount of corn sugar during bottling (I usually use 4 oz for bottling a 5 gallon batch) ?
Otherwise, how can I decrease the hyper foamy nature of this brew after a long sit in the bottle?
