Hey all,
I've got an IPA that I brewed a few months ago, been bottle conditioning for at least 2, maybe 3 months. Been drinking it for a few weeks, a six here and a six there, everything is great!
I popped a six in the fridge yesterday morning, poured one last night, it was fine. I got home today about 2:30 and felt kinda parched, so I opened another one. I popped the cap off, and watched the foam slowly rise to the top. I quickly poured some into my glass to prevent unacceptable beer loss. I got maybe 1/4 of the glass filled with beer, the rest was foam. I'm slowly able to pour more into the glass, but the odd thing is the foam in the bottle keeps slowly coming up the neck. Weird.
Looking at the glass, it looks like I've got some "floaties" swimming around in the brew, kind of like trub from the primary. Everything tastes fine, delicious in fact, and once the head is under control it's beautiful. The only weird things are the foam and the floaties.
So the question is: What would cause a single bottle out of the batch to be a gusher? I'm better than halfway through the batch and the rest have been just fine. In fact, if anything, they're a little undercarbonated.
Any explanations?
