I threw in a handful of regular sugar before I bottled it, and that's what caused the extreme fermentation. 2/3 of the beer fizzled out of the bottle as soon as I opened it, and the when I poured some in my mouth (I didn't swallow), it immediately began to foam over. I tried to keep my mouth closed as long as I could, but the build up of gases didn't take long to explode.

But when you've been homebrewing a few years, you don't even attempt to assume there's anything drinkable in that mess at the bottom. Experienced brewers apparently use it to start a new batch, but I don't have the patience. I just open the yeast packet that comes with the kit. Interesting discovery.
