Beer Went Kablamo

KJ

I bottled my beer too early and got some exploding beer, the ones that havent exploded just taste like fizz. Is there any way of saving them at this stage?

Open the bottles (in the bath or a sink), let them foam until they calm down, re-cap.

If you drink them very cold more c02 will be dissolved in the beer and might not fizz as much, though if you bottled way before fermentation was done the beer will keep on coming out as foam.. Have the beers covered with a towel or something at all times as exploding bottles are very dangerous. Did you check the gravity of the beer before bottling to confirm fermentation was complete and how much priming sugar did you use? .

Just bumping this thread instead of starting a new one. I have a beer that's been fermenting for 9 days nows. OG was 1048 and the reading sunday was 1012, 1011 on monday and 1010 yesterday. I assume this is all as expected as the yeast is nearly finished fermenting and is just using up the last of the sugar. Is it okay to go ahead an bottle the beer or should I wait until I get two days of a consistent gravity reading?

Yes. I wouldn't even think of bottling before two weeks is up.

Cheers, that suits me better as I can bottle over the weekend.
