The pressure is normal. It's just carbon dioxide gas which is a by-product offermentation (using EZ caps pretty will always make champagne). If you want toremove the carbonation you need to use a regular air lock to allow the gas torelease without letting in outside air (cheap and available on-line or at anyhomebrew store). Also refrigeration doesn't totally stop the fermentation, itjust slows it down to a crawl, of course that depends on whether or not there'sany sugar left as well. Hope that answers your question.--- "dbdraggin001" wrote:>> Just got my EZ Caps a little over a week ago.>> I Added one cup of sugar to Grape Juice and 1/8 teaspoon of yeast, and kept itin a cabinet above the stove in the kitchen for the last 7 days.>> About 57 hours ago I put it in the fridge, but the EZ Cap still has gassescoming out.
