I feel like I'm blowing this thread up, but damn if it isn't super helpful.
I've made 3 batches in the past, and drank most all of them with no problems. Here lately every time I open one they foam up into a ridiculous volcano. No black ring around the bottle or any obvious signs of infection, what did I do wrong? My friend suggested it was over carbed, which I could believe if the others weren't so well behaved. I use "brewpal" and just go with whatever the average is for the style I'm bottling.
Thanks!
