None of the usual signs of high carbonation though. Not much fizz and the mouth feel is just about right for a stout.
Adding extra sugar and yeast to this kit is pretty common as it at peters only send them out with about 6g which is never enough.
I'm tempted to cool a bottle and see how it does then.

If you are having an explosion when you uncap a bottle it's over carbonated.
Either through secondary fermentation and/or too much sugars in the bottle. Or seems that the extra sugar and yeast may be the problem.
Although if you are using yeast from previous beer you might have a wild yeast contamination?
