Hi guys,
I bottled my latest batch last night - a Pale Ale kit.
This morning I was wiping the bottles down to remove the dried sanitiser from the outside and noticed one of the bottles had a large crack in it. Didn't noticed it when bottling or washing so not sure if it was there already or the pressure from the carbonation brought it out...
Anyway, so I opened the bottle to dump it down the sink and when I opened it it gushed up a bit and overflowed out the top of the bottle. Kinda like as if the bottle had been shaken up a bit.
Is this normal or does it sound like maybe I over-primed?
I used 180gm Dextrose
There was 23L in the fermenter and I drained about 22L out of it into the priming bucket.
that's a bit more than I have been using on my last few batches (120 or 130gm into 20L brews)
Just wondering wheterh more cracks will be appearing in this batch.
thanks,
Rich
