All-wise fellow brewers...
On 13 September 2013, I brewed up a five-gallon batch of all-grain "Bourbon Barrel Porter" from Northern Brewer. My beginning s.g. was 1.060, and it finished off at 1.020. I have attempted to open three bottles...and all three were tremendous "gushers." It would seem that some sort of infection got into that batch. I suspect that the remainder of the batch will follow the "gusher" pattern. My knee-jerk reaction is to take the remaining 49 bottles out into the back yard and start popping them open and emptying them out. Anyone out there have a better idea or three???
