Hey,
In my last 2 brews I've had a little issue with my final product. After it has been bottled, I sample them about a month later and they are fine and taste how they are supposed to. However, after about 2 months (since bottling) when pouring the beer into a glass, there is about double or triple the amount of head on the beer, and then about 3 months (since bottling) later, the bottles tend to "explode" when opening them. The head doesn't seem to taste infected or anything like that. I'm 95% sure that I bottled the beer when fermentation had finished.
The only difference between these brews and previous ones is that I used star san to sanitise the bottles. I'm wondering if I might've made the solution too strong and that this might affect the beer in this way? Or would you think that it's more likely that fermentation hadn't finished?
