So I have just started drinking a FWK of a porter that I did. the kit sat at fermenting temp for 2 weeks and was finished . I turned the fridge down to 4 deg to cold clear which I like to do usually for 4 or 5 days before bottling just to clear it a bit . I got distracted with life with my new baby and it ended up cold crashing for 3 to 4 weeks before I got around to bottling it . every day I would wake up thinking "I'll bottle that today " and couldnt get to it
Its now been in the bottles, 750ml pet , for 3 weeks and some of the are real bad gushers.worst I have ever had by far . I have had 5 of them the last week and 2 have been off the charts gushing as soon as the cap comes off . the other 3 have been ok , a little more activity when opening but managelable where the other 2 half the longneck is on the floor in 5 seconds
what causes this? Could cold crashing for too long do it or is it an infection in some of the bottles ? the beer tatses ans smells good . when I bottled I didnt have much time and may have been a little lax in some of my cleaning
