yeah I used to clean my bottles in the dishwasher with ONLY hot water. Although my dish washer had some food particles and contaminated half my batch.
A few things can cause this, one is too much priming sugar. Also, it can be that there wasn't enough time fermenting because the beer continued fermenting in the bottle creating more and more carbination.
That was one of the last you bottled? Perhaps you did not mix in the priming sugar in the bottling bucket very well. Helps to rack the beer over the priming sugar and give it some soft stirs to be sure the priming sugar is distributed evenly
Im about to try homebrewing a small batch of ale or something this winter.I dont know much about brewing but ive been into fermenting lately kombucha kefir and sourdough.and i would say you just over fermented or if it only happened on your last bottle it just had alot of yest/sugarars left over and is perfectly ok?Just concentrated beer.Is this what you came to conclusion?
@jmoh... you could be right. The last bottle sucked up the last bit of beer from the bottom of the bottling jug. Maybe some left over heavy syrupy mix was there. Or, possible that bottle was contaminated. I took it from my friends stash since I ran out.
@07Bolla If I could remember I'd tell you. But it was the amount suggested in the recipie. I think the problem was a contaminated bottle. All the other bottles came out fine... perfect. It's a shame the one we chose to do our tasting on was bad. But that's reality for you!
That is not good you used to much priming suger. The good thing is that the bottle did not explode. Some times when you use to much priming suger the bottles explodes and it is very messy and dangerous.
i'm not a homebrewer but it looks almost like the beer isn't 'finished' yet... (lack of taste...) or maybe the bottles somehow had too much bacteria in it... (no offense!)
doesn't mean the beer is 'bad' but you probably have to drink it very quickly...
Wow, that was quite the "bottle bomb"! I've had that happen to me several times and like others have said it could be from over-priming. If the other bottles were OK that's what's important. Glad it tasted good.
Great flick. Glad it's coming around w/ the later bottles. My own IPA is just getting better with time. Tell the Mrs she won't need a bud light when downing home made IPA. Trust me I know. Got to show this to River! She will love it!
when beerichituba made his homebrew,i asked him to package one in a metal container and throw it in the ocean in the direction of osaka.to my surprise,i received it 3 weeks later!.
i don't know if it will work through the atlantic ocean & i am now in hong kong,but if u want to do the same thing and address it to jeff...i would love to try it!
Naw gushing usually happens because pressure hasn't built up enough to force the CO2 into solution yet. I can almost guarantee that it's just not done priming, give it another week or two. Three weeks is usually plenty of priming time though, so it's possible that it was infected but usually if it's infected you'd know right away - it would not taste like beer.
Gushing can happen from time to time. Alot of the comments I've read can all have happened. Don't let it discourage any future brewing. Good luck in the future.
I know how you can improve on this. Go to the store and buy a 6 of Sierra Nevada . Leave the brewing to the experts,like Jim Koch, Garrett Oliver etc.
Forgot to ask : WHAT did you use to prime, and more importantly- how much did you use either in the batch or the bottle?...cheers guys... Beware of the dreaded - BOTTLE BOMBS!!
Hey guys, this is what I found out online about "gushing" : (not in my words) Most cases of gushing homebrew are due to overpriming or microbial spoilage in the bottle. Avoid these problems by carefully measuring priming sugar and practicing good sanitation. Technically, malt made from Fusarium (mold) infested barley makes beer that gushes. live and learn... If anyone tells you they never had a problem somewhere during making a beer is lying or FOS or both ;) Cheers guys!
@ACTeslaMachineDC Several comments suggested the bottle may have had something in it they could have infected it. And the more I think about it, that is probably what it was. I cleaned and sterilized 48 bottles for the batch. I realized I needed one more, and my buddies had an extra. I assumed it was sterilized, but now I'm thinking I was wrong to assure! Thanks!
You hot a gusher! That happens every now and then with my homebrews, did you chill it quickly in the freezer? I find that sometimes causes the gushers... Put a few bottles in the fridge and give them a couple hours, be gentle and hopefully it won't happen again!
How do you stop it?! YOU DRINK IT!!! I think you are on to something. Youv'e figured out how to bottle head. Congradulations on your first run. Your'e not vergins anymore.
The way the head formed it looked as though you didn't pour it into the glass right but I could see you did, interesting I've never seen that before. Good review.
So the excess head is either because of excess sugar, or there were other things (possibly) in the bottle, or just because it was from the bottom of the carboy.
You should try the very first bottle and see how it is.
I'm glad it tastes good! Hope to see more from you guys.
Yesterday I opened a 22oz bottle of the IPA I brewed and it also foamed like crazy. The other bottles I've opened poured nicely though. I'll make a video of me tasting it ASAP.
Should be posting my Dogfish Brewery footage either today or tomorrow.
I wouldn't write off the whole batch as being over carbonated. Did you batch prime or did you put sugar in each individual bottle ? If the latter there is a good chance that one bottle was just over primed, it's hard to be consistent that way. If you batch primed there could have been a piece of crud in the bottom of the bottle causing infection. Infection will cause a beer to be over carbonated usually leading to the stories of exploding bottles. Finally if the whole batch is over carbonated
and it continues to taste good then it most likely was bottled too early and hadn't finished fermenting. In any event I recommend drinking up and enjoying. you should try a few more just to see if it was the one bottle though :)..Drinkz da Beeah..
Heh, adventures in home brewing! As it's been said before, looks like over-priming. Other than that, it sounds like you guys did a good job with it. Nobody makes a perfect batch their first time in. Stick with it! If the beer is smelling and tasting good, you're already ahead of the game.
You may have used to much priming sugar or the 49th beer may have had more yeast sediment, that may have contributed to the over carbing. We've all had them. It still looked good. Cheers.
WOW ON THE FORM! Honestly I have no idea what that means (chemically and taste bud wise). Great review as always. I know you stated you didn't know the ABV, but if both of you had to guess (even a rough guess) what would you say?
Joe Ds mind would of just exploded with all that "SMOKE"... ahahaha that is all I could think off the second it got opened... "We can always snort it" best line ever ! Im happy it tuned out better after the first bottle... A+
Awesome video, i'm happy to hear it was a success!! who knows why that bottle was so overly carbonated, my guess is since it was the last bottle you filled, it got the butt end of the yeast sediment and carbonated reaaaly aggressively. I'm not a homebrewer though, but that's my guess!
Im so glad to see you two back with a video, Keep em comin!
Rename it to Imasofoamy :D I'm glad you enjoy the taste and smell, looks good too when the head goes down. It's all a learning experience for you guys so the next attempt should be excellent.
She said "never thought you'd say you got to much head" Freaking hilarious !!! You two are great !!!
