Carbonation is certainly not a problem with this batch! Popped the cap off the first bottle and two seconds later a beer volcano was erupting all over the kitchen. After clean up, I did a slow release opening on another bottle and all was fine. Next day, I broke out another bottle and forgot to slow release it. This time it looked like a slow overflow so I went to save it by trying to drink it as it came out and suddenly my head felt like it was exploding as the beer speed forced its way into my skull. Again, beer everywhere; countertops, windows, the ceiling, my face, hair, all over the fuggin' place. It was pretty funny. Dewey helped with the clean up.
In any case, I think the deal with these bottles was the fact they contained the bottom of the carboy beer and there was lots of "sediment" at the bottom. I figure there was more food to feed the carbonation process and the other bottles will be less apt to volcano on me. Guess we'll see this weekend!!
