Over carbonated

[phil74501]

I think I over carbonated a batch. When I pour it into a glass, even if I try very carefully, I end up with 2/3rds if the glass being foam. I even looked in a bottle and there was foam half way up it from it being poured. Does that mean I over did it? Is there anything I can do? Nothings blown up yet, so no bombs...I hope. It's a maple syrup ale that I bottled the end of November.

Start cracking caps and re-sealing.

Exactly. If it's over carbed and not an infection, you can gently pry one side of the cap off and release the pressure then recap it. Let it sit a few days and try another sample.
Repeat as needed.

With the same caps or use a new one?

I hope it's not an infection because I've already drank 3 of them.

No beer infection can actually hurt you, just make your beer taste different.

It tastes alright...I think. I've never had a maple syrup ale before, so I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to taste like.
