Hello,
I am new to the forum and new to home brewing. I have made a nice looking Bavarian Wheat Beer (Mangrove Jacks). Unfortunately the kit did not specify the quantity of priming sugar so II added 1 teaspoon (5 ml). The result is an impossibly active bottle that goes everythere with the slightest unscrewing of the lids. This results in the sediment rapidly rising up the bottle and leaving it all totally cloudy (and all over the floor if I was to fully unscrew the lid). I certainly don't want to throw the beer away. So I wondered if anyone had any ideas? I thought about possibly sterilising the bucket again and tipping all of the bottles into the bucket, mixing the beer around until it's flat once again and then rebottle, with an appropriate amount of sugar - c2.5ml/half teaspoon - so effectively starting again. Do you think this will work?
Thank you for your help
