Thank god i bottled in PET.
I recently bottled a Coopers lager pitched with a leftover wheat yeast cake.
This was bottled on the 9th Nov with a standard measure of sugar in the bottle (740ml i think).
SG 1048 FG approx 1016 on the 10th day when it was bottled
It was a hybrid brew
Coopers lager
1.2k dex
200mls LME
125mls Maple Syrup
25gms Hersbrucker dry hopped
200mls yeast cake from an ESB wheat brew.
Anyhow i stuck one in the fridge yesterday to get a guage on taste, cracked it today and it foamed up more than a cheerleader on prom night...
I wore about 300mls and it took about 5 mins for the gas to go down.
I poured the rest and the head was fantastic, flavor citrusy/ wheat, not a bad finish needs to age....
But why did it gas up so much?
