I opened my first bottle today. It is the Beyond Blonde from the Brooklyn Brewshop kit. For my very first batch ever I was quite impressed. It tasted great. However it was very cloudy, and there was way too much head on the pour. I poured against the side of the glass, and poured slowly. By the time there was an inch of beer in the glass it was already overflowing from the excess head. This was disappointing because after pouring a 12 oz bottle i was only able to drink 8 oz. I did notice that right before i poured, a small piece of the sediment at the bottom of the bottle rose to the top and that was when it began gushing.
I followed the instructions from the kit to the T. it was in the fermenter for exactly 2 weeks, and in the bottle for exactly 2 weeks. My question is, what could have caused the excessive head?
