Hello all,
A quick question about carbonation once beer's already been bottled. I finished bottling a Saison a month or so ago. After two weeks, I put them in the fridge. Everytime, I open open, however, foam rises out of the bottle, even if it's been sitting still for several minutes. When poring, about 90% of the glass is bead and 10% liquid.
My local brew supply store seemed to do a real quick measurement with my priming sugar, so I'm wondering if he gave me too much. One of the bottles exploded during the two weeks of conditioning. I carefully checked with a hydrometer before taking out of the secondary, so I'm sure it was done fermenting.
Any thoughts on what caused this? Any suggestions for what I can do now, other that having a ten minutes process from opening to actually drinking?
Thanks
