Is it a problem if my homebrewed beer starts bubbling/foaming at the corks surrounding edges and where the cork was used?

 

[dtgrdn]

it's probably because they're all upside down

Did you just jam old used wine corks into twist off beer bottles? b/c that's how that upside down photo and your question makes it sound

I couldn't hear anything from the photos.

what is happening....?

Didja ever notice how still wine has plain corks, while sparkling wine has a funny shaped cork with a cage on it, or a screw cap?

If the carbonation doesn't just leak out, it will pop those corks right out of the bottles. Those are the wrong type of bottles to use corks and also the wrong type of corks. You will even have a hard time trying to cap those twist off bottles.

Or it will be the closest thing to cask ale!

Clean the bottle tops with a spray of sanitizer and chill these bottles as soon as you can. The corks may begin popping. Handle these bottles like a loaded gun, don't point them at yourself or another person. The cork could have quite a bit of force if they go off.
If pry off cap bottles are unavailable, plastic soda bottles can be used for beer. Don't use plastic water bottles. They are not designed to hold pressure.
What you see could be just carbonation pressure leaking or you bottled early and fermentation is finishing. If fermentation is finishing in the bottle, pressure is getting dangerously high.

 

[Hello]

Did you jam corks into screw top bottles? Basically your corks aren't holding, from what I can tell. I'd run away if I were you. IDK.

Short answer: yes.

I'm not worried about them exploding, they just kind of squeeze off when the pressure builds but I've only had 2 out of 30 come out, they rest are relatively tight.

I didn't have any other way to seal the bottles so I thought corks would look cool. Probably not the most efficient way but they were free used corks and I don't want to spend 30 cents a cork if I have to buy that many of them

So you're using used corks on screw top bottles?
I'd fear infection more than carbonation leakage. I don't know if you're supposed to re-use those kind of corks. But since you're not worried, I'm not sure what you're asking about.

If it works, it works. The picture clearly shows it does not.

run away...run away!

Is there a high risk of infection if it's only being stored for two weeks?

I'd be more concerned it'd cause hives.

 

[brew_ny]

I'd be more concerned it'd cause hives.

and I thought hives were cause by bees

go figure

Do you enjoy flat possibly infected beer?

If not, then this could be a problem.
