australian summer and some poor beers in the shed..........

I brewed some coopers dark nut ale which turned out great. i had left it around 3 months and couldn't be happier :-)

I was then in the process of selling and moving house so my beer stash was kept in the shed for several weeks of extreme hot weather.

now when i try these beers it's like a f#!kin volcano erupted :-(

what the hell happened? i have left store purchased beer in the shed before during hot weather and no worries.

wont happen again i can assure you even if my girlfriend doesn't like beer stored in the walk in robe...hahahah

any ideas on what happended......just curious.....i need to put this behind me but need to know.........

thanks for all the reply's had a hard time reading them all i guess those of you from the uk probably don't want to hear about hot weather and beer as you'll never get both together. those of you from the US probably don't get quality beer like coopers

I'm no expert, and was waiting for someone with the know-how to say something. My best guess is that the heat got your yeast a little more active than it would have been otherwise. Commercial beer usually doesn't have any live yeast in it (at least here in the 'States) so storing commercial stuff in a hot place might not do that. A little less priming sugar might help too. Yeast can't ferment sugar that isn't there.

Wanna BET, Mate ? Coopers was the first choice when I bought my stuff to start brewing a week ago.
