Possible Bottle Bombs?

[trivtrav]

So I recently brewed a nice brown ale kit. My instructions said wait 2-3 weeks for proper bottle conditioning. I decided to try it at 2 just to see how things were going...I popped the top on a mostly cold one and it fizzed everywhere. Half the beer was gone by the time it was done. Initially I thought maybe it wasnt cold enough, so I threw a couple more in the fridge and let them chill overnight. I came home today and popped the top on one. Same problem...fizz everywhere, half the bottle lost. Here is my real concern...if I let these go another week are they going to explode on me?

TIA,
Trav

How much priming sugar did you use and how much beer did the batch make?

 

[trivtrav]

5 gallon batch and 3/4 cup of priming sugar...

How old was it when you bottled? What was the OG and FG? What was the fermentation temps and what yeast did you use? How did you add the priming sugar? ect.

This is probably a dumb question, but when you 'popped the top', did you gently pop off the cap, or did the bottle bang on the counter or otherwise get shaken up in the process of removing the cap? I know the first beer I opened fizzed a bunch because it banged into the microwave (albeit gently) when my hand slipped a little as the cap was coming off.
