I've been having an issue with my bottled beers becoming over carbonated. They seem fine for 2-4 weeks and then I need to pour them very slowly in a glass in order to not have excessive head. Some of them will begin to ooze out of the bottle as soon as the cap is removed. I typically use 3 - 3.5 ounces by weight of corn sugar, mixed into the entire 5 gallon batch prior to bottling. Is this a sign of contamination somewhere? The beers taste fine, just over carbonated. I also use an inline oxygenation system that is connected to the end of my wort chiller. Would the addition of too much oxygen affect the carbonation level of the beer?
