I mean really cold - like in the freezer until it’s (almost!) frozen
Has it got much headspace in the bottles?
When I say ‘tickle the cap open’ I mean just lift a tiny bit of the cap (e.g. with a pair of long nosed pliers) so there’s a tiny path for the gas to hiss out slowly without removing the whole cap

also worth a go!
 
Nothing for me. Had a fair few last night though. TBF, it's extremely rare for the wife and I to get out for a drink. So I probably ripped the hole out of it a bit. Still, at least some good came of it. I actually found a bar that pours good Guinness. Pubs like that are as rare as hens teeth these days.
 
Might crack one of my Directors tonight. It won't be ready, it's only been in the bottle a week, but I'm curious to see how it pans out.
I wasn't ready but has potential. Directors always had (I haven't drunk it for years) a dry, back of mouth taste to it. I rather liked that and the home brew version has that hint to it. Whether the brew will remind me of my Courage drinking days in Stockwell or not, it promises to be a decent drop which is just fine by me.
 
the one I opened today has been chilled for a full week and still the same story. It’s hopeless lol. We have tried opening and leaving but we’d be here all week honestly and it’d be warm by the time it was pourable.
What was the final gravity? The saison yeast should finish really low so it it didn't then the explosion is due to it still fermenting.
 
Started off with a lovely Wit, perfect first beer
This jolly old chap..

Followed with this Wheat beer from Poland
Getting an ever so slight onion aftertaste that I got from one of my own wheat beers when it was young, interestingly. Could still easily drink these all night, shame it's just the 1 bottle
