Gushing bottle after car trip
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2014 3:06 pm
I've had two times in the last month when I brought a few bottles of my Amarillo IPA to share and when I poured the bottles they were gushers.
I know that the bottle was shaken during the car ride and that the beers were also jostle around just before pouring.
These bottles don't gush when I open them at home and they taste fine.
This may seem obvious but I don't expect the beers to constantly foam just because they were agitated by the bumpy car ride.
It almost seem that once the trub is stirred up it releases an infection that was contained in the bottom of the bottle.
They also tasted very grainy and yeasty. ( at home they were fine ) A lot of trub stayed in suspension.
It makes me not want to bring my home brew to picnics and parties because people don't want to try a bottle of beer that looks like it just came off the set of a horror movie.
