Hey everyone,
This is my 3rd batch and this one came out a little different. I was making a brew house Honey Blonde ale. Due to computer failure, I lost my log for this batch mid way through, but I'm pretty sure my og was 1.045. When took a reading before bottling, it gave me a reading of 1.004-1.005.
I never saw any bubbles on the top of the secondary carboy even after racking. When I racked it off into the bottling primary, I noticed carbonation right away. After bottling and not securing the caps down, the bottles were 'bubbling' once and a while. I carbonated it using 121g of Dextrose for 22.5L (approx 2.3-2.4 carbonation level). I samples the beer before bottling and it was a little bit 'fizzy' on my tounge, just the 'entry level' of carbonation but almost not too noticable.
My worry is, are these potential bottle bombs? My other 2 batches (oatmeal stout and red ale) never had this 'pre-carbonation' before!
Help!
