[COHO] Whats happening to my beer....

[Ryan Gibson]

If you don't taste any BandAids in the bubbly stuff, my guess is that you
didn't mix your priming sugar in well enough, and these bottles got the
majority of the priming sugar.
 
You may just need a tall glass and a straw! ;)

Hello group,
 
Odd things are happening here.  I may need to make a sacrifice to the beer
gods to appease them.  Have I sinned (OK, lets don't go there).
 
The story:
 
Late in the winter (06') I made a California Common.  In my humble opinion
it was a wonderful brew.  I've been drinking it for about a month or so;
maybe I've consumed 15 - 20 bottles (hey I was sharing it with friends
too!).  Nothing has changed, the storage location is the same, the storage
temperature is the same, it smells wonderful and still taste great.  It has
always been a little bubbly, not quite Champagne like but I'd get 3/4" of
head in the glass.  
 
Here is the problem:
 
The last three bottles have just erupted in a spew of foam.  I pop the top
of the Grolsch bottle, it sits for 15 seconds or so and then spills over the
top, and spills, and spills, and spills.  Same batch, same conditions, no
evidence of contamination, nothin', nada has changed. 
 
What's goin' on?
