I have a quick question. When using Coopers Carb drops it says on the back.

1 per stubbie
2 per long neck

Im assuming a long neck is a regular 12 oz bottle. Does that sound about right using 2 drops per 12 oz bottle?

They could explode, but I have never used carb drops before. I would at very least place them in an area where it will be easy to clean if they do go.

lol uh oh. Hypathetical situation of course?

Well the guys of basic brewing accidentally put 2 of those drops in and they didn't explode. But that was only one bottle.

Do you have anything you can grab the other drop with? long tweezers, chopsticks?

They are already capped but all stored in a large rubber made container with the lid secured... if they blow they wont go anywhere... looks like its a wait and see situation.

Not where the world is upside down (and where Cooper's Drops are made).

agreed, they do make 10oz stubbies. Like Red stripe bottles.
