But hey, at least you have learnt something.
As the saying should go, Don't cry over spilt beer

Are you a newbie brewer? RULE #1 in brewing SANITIZE!! EVERYTHING needs to be santitized! That includes your stubby fingers. WASH EM! There are no shortcuts in cleaning your equipment.

@weirdbeer OK, did you taste the beer... was it sour or off tasting? try the tb calculator next time..
give me a call when you arrive in SM...
BREW ON !
How come you didnt just put the bottles in the fridge to stop the yeast? Beer is beer man! All though if it did taste awful then I understand. I've had one batch that had a bottle blow up, i just put them in my kegerator fridge and bam no more bottle bombs

@JasonJToews That would have been a good idea but like you said it didn't taste great. It wasn't awful by any means, but it was very good either. I just figured I'd let it go.

ouch, that was painful to watch! how much priming sugar did you use? as a rule of thumb i let my batches ferment for a full two weeks and i use 1 ounce of priming sugar per gallon of brew. works for me every time!!!

@1979timdog This batch was in primary for over 6 weeks. I think it was an infection.

I had this with some home brew cider I made a while back. I bottled them in plastic containers (thank god, had they been glass my brew cupboard would have been destroyed!) Took me half an hour to open each one slowly enough so that I didn't lose any booze! First time I opened one I lost 75% of the bottle to gush!
