Super Fast Carb?

[BigKahuna]

I bottled a Dunkelwizen on Saturday, Made with 3068 yeast. (Banana Foster Dunkel)
anyway, I bottled one in a plastic root beer bottle so I could check carb. Tonight, it is very solid, so I decide to chill one and try. AWESOME...Very well carbed, and good head retention all the way. I knew that this type of beer is ready quickly, but 2 days in the bottle? Wait...this just doesn't seem right.
What's up here, and do I need to worry?
**Edit
OG, 1.056 F.G. 1.004. 2 weeks in fermentor, then bottled with 5 oz priming sugar and 1 ltr Rum.

Only if you are standing near the other bottles

Seriously, that does worry me a bit. I would pop one ever few days just to be safe & make sure they are covered and where they cant make a mess if you start losing them.

I have never used that yeast but bottle carbing in a day just doesn't seem too kosher.

Edit: How fast can you drink?

Wait, the FG is 1.004? My calculations show over 90% apparent attenuation, are you sure this isn't a saison? Just kidding!
When I brewed a roggenbier I let it sit for 2 weeks in the primary, then bottled. It was ready in about 5 days because there was a bunch of yeast in suspension, but 2 days is really fast.
As long as you say it tastes good, there should be no worries.

My wit. Is always carbs in 4-6 days. It is one of my fastest carbing beers.

Let me know how that turns out. Banana Foster is one of my wifes favorites.

This is definitely one of my all time favorite beers. It's not going to be for everyone, but I am sold. I love anything banana or cocont, and this is banana supreme! It wasn't real expensive either, I'd recommend that EVERYONE who has ever even thought about this...Get to brewing.

Never Good! The 2 batches I have had carb quickly, one had the GUSHER infection, and the others would have been bottle bombs had I not painstakingly opened them all and re-capped.

A really low FG is symptyomatic of GUSHER. It has no effect on taste.

 

[jtvinny]

Thanks, what do figure the final ABV to be?

 

[BigKahuna]

Unless I was It is right at 7.75% But it goes down so smooth that you'll soon be

How do you figure that? Are you saying a low FG going into the bottle is symptomatic of beers that will/may be gushers?

Adding the rum put a LOT of extra sugar in your beer. Be cautious.

OH CRAP.
I never thought that there may be fermentable sugar in Malibu Banana.
So Now what?
open all of them?
Re cap?
Should have added the rum at 1 week and then waited another week to bottle?
Guess I'll go home and drink Drink Drink for safety.

How long do you suppose I should wait until I can call these bottles safe and stick them on the shelf?

 

[AnonyBrew]

Whatever happened with this batch?

 

[BigKahuna]

It's Great...I'm just still a little ansey about the bottles. The beer is SUPER Fizzy, and really comes into it's own once it's about Half Flat. I don't know when I can call these safe? None have gone yet...knock on wood.
