I brewed Austin's Evil Brown recipe back in May. It spent 2 weeks in the primary, 2 weeks in the secondary, OG was 1.058, FG was 1.013. I bottled 5/25 with 4.5ozs of priming sugar/12 oz water. All of the bottles I've opened have been very heavily carbonated, but no gushers. I just noticed I'd had a bottle bomb as well. Everything was sanitized, all the bottles I've opened have been consistent. Any idea why it's so heavily carbonated. I have dozens of batches under my belt, but never had this happen before. It's delicious, just overcarbonated, I've always used either 4.5 or 5 oz priming sugar before. Recipe below.
