Hey so this is my first forum post along with my first brew. I finished bottling my Imperial IPA a little over a week ago, as there appeared to be no more yeast activity in the airlock.
I wanted to open a small bottle I had filled to see how the carbonation was going. When I opened the trunk I was storing my bottles in, it was apparent that one of the bottles had bursted. I cleaned it up, opened the small bottle I intended, and began researching.
Now when I opened the small bottle, it did not appear to be overcarbonated and poured into my glass as I would expect most beer to. It tasted like beer, but had a tone of the LME I used. I presume this is normal as it has only been bottled for a week? Overall it tasted fine and was drinkable.
Upon talking to my friend who got me started on brewing, I moved all of my beer into the fridge to slow the yeast down.
Now my question is, how can I continue to ferment my beer for the additional 2-3 weeks?
