Over Carbonated Homebrew

[beergolf]

I have no idea. I'm considering buying a keg at this point. It seems much more efficient. Interestingly enough, I put some over the overcarbed beer in the fridge last night and my who buddy drank some today found nothing wrong with the carbonation. What the hell is going on? Surely cooling beer cannot calm the co2 levels down?

How long are you putting your bottles in the fridge before opening them? How long have they been bottled?

The reason I ask is the opening a warm beer wil almost always gush.. Also a beer that is starting to carb up but has not had time to get the carb into the beer will also gush. Opening a warm young beer and it will definitely gush.

It is also possible that you are just bottling too soon, before fermentation is actually complete. If so, you could add a normal amount of priming sugar and still over carb your beer, because there might still be sugar in solution.
