I brewed a brown porter a while back and the bottles will gush out completely when opened. I've read the threads on this behavior, so I'm not jumping to conclusions about infections, etc. but I'm wondering what to expect going forward.
Looking at my notes, it spent 2 1/2 weeks in a primary (no secondary) and then we bottled using 5 oz. of priming sugar in a cup of water. We're pretty careful about cleaning and sanitizing. It's now been in the bottle about 2 months and still gushes, even after spending days in the refrigerator before opening. I'm starting to think that fermentation might not have been done when I bottled. If so, is there anything to do for this? Would the beer be expected to settle down eventually?
