In response to "nmb Loosi" by Fuzzy

I'm the one who does most of the bottling. Leaving about an inch and an half. It's the same in all batches.

but only two batches have gone insane.

We use different kinds of yeasts, it's different every time. The IPA had a yeast we have only used once. We will not order that kit again. The specific gravity seemed fine when we bottled but it still might have been an active yeast.

The Honey Porter... not sure what yeast it used. I'm trying to do forensics on it now.

"Forensics" -- is that what the kids call it these days? -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 1, 19:18 6
- Heh. Tempe keeps a spreadsheet with stuff like yeast, specific gravity, etc. I've been pushing to add more data to it, after the IPA incident. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 19:19 5
  - I've never brewed alcoholic beverages, what does the spec. grav. tell you? -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 1, 19:20 4
    - it's a fancy way of saying density. - Reagen Mar 1, 19:26 3
      - Gotcha. How does that factor into brewing? - Fuzzy Mar 1, 19:33 1
        
        if a lot of sugar is left, it's still fermenting. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 19:47
      - it tells you how much sugar is left in it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 19:32
