Afternoon folks. I finally got round to trying my IPA which was bottled on the 3rd of July. The problem is the bottles fizz over like champagne that has been vigorously shaken leaving me with probably less than half of the 500ml that should be in the bottles.
I followed the bottling instructions to the letter which was 3 tablespoons of honey for a 1 gallon batch.
Here's my recipe so if anyone has any ideas as to what may be wrong it will be gratefully received.
Pale malt 820 grams
Caramel 20 170 grams
Biscuit malt 90 grams
Munich malt 45 grams
Columbus hops 3.0 grams
Cascade hops 3.0 grams 60mins
3.0 grams 45mins
3.0 grams 30mins
3.0 grams 15mins
3.0 grams 0mins
Dry hop with 3.0 grams Amarillo hops on the 28th June
Fermentation started again 28/06/17
OG:- 1.060
FG:- 1.008
Bottled 03/07/17
