to everyone who helped thanks! after one week in cold storage i eased a cap off and it didn't gush! in fact it acted like a moderately normal beer. still gave a large amount of foam on pour but i'm hoping that cools down with more cold.
I am gonna keep them in the fridge for another week or two and see what that does. thanks again to everyone! i will still need to adjust how much honey i used if i ever used it again. but thanks so much!
 
Chilling is ultra important. It seems to defy logic that the beer seems less carbonated but actually the carbonation has just been better distributed into the beer.
 
Yup, cooling helps a lot. A had an American Wheat that I brewed over the summer that I had overcarbed; no gushers, but a lot of foam. I had chilled most of the beers for 1-2 weeks prior to drinking. I recently found two bottles hiding in the back of the fridge, they'd been there for 2 or 3 months now, the carbonation was nearly perfect on those. It seems like you may have similar results.
