Hey guys,
I brewed a batch of raspberry beer, my second try at it, and I have huge gushers when I open the bottles after they've been 3 weeks in the bottle. I primed them to about 3.0 carb, and the final gravity was at about 1.02 (high I know...).
I had left it in the primary for about 3-4 weeks before moving to the secondary for another 2 weeks with raspberries.
I had moved maybe 10-12 bottles to the refrigirator, one I opened was very flat (a grolsh-type bottle which I suspect had leaked). I then opened another swingtop cap and it sprayed EVERYWHERE. I opened another 2 bottles outside, pretty much the same scenario. Since it seems an infection is in there and the final gravity was only 1.02 I am very much scared they`ll turn into bottle bombs. I guess I should just empty them one by one? I tried opening a swing cap to release some pressure and re-seal it but it foamed like crazy and I'm afraid there's even more pressure build up now (is that possible??).
Any advice? The beer is very good...and its a 5 gal batch!
