Hi All,
Recently I've been experiencing bottles that seem to always have excessive carbonation. I always clean my bottles after pours, leave them overnight in an OxyClean bath and then fully submerge/sanitize the bottles in my bottling bucket with a StarSan solution.
Several bottles have been gushers (haven't experienced any bombs), but almost every batch I have done recently has been excessively carbed. I've been using TastyBrew's calculator and have been generally adding 4oz of corn sugar for a 5 gallon batch. My brew are usually fermented in the mid 60s in my basement. After bottling I store them up on my top floor where the heat can get into the high 70s-80s.
Is the excessive carbonation from the storage temperature? I really doubt it is from sanitation issues or excess sugar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx.
