I have a question regarding the flip top bottles and a problem with gushers that I have experienced several times. I have brewed a dunklewiezen beer, same recipe several times and the carbonation level is about 2.4 and bottled with either corn sugar or malt extract. Every time I bottle this beer with these bottle I get gushers. I have used the bottles as back ups when I run out of 12 oz. longnecks. The 12 oz. bottles are fine each and every time. Same batch, same priming. I may have chalked it up to bacteria or other infections, but last month, I bottled a wheat beer at the same time I did the dunkewiezen. Those do not gush. Everything was sterilized the same way and the carbonation level was the same for that also. Any ideas to why just this one beer can't be bottled this way? I would like to keep using this beer, but if it something that may be "recipe" specific, I would like to know so I don't end up wasting a batch.
