I bottled my 3rd batch a few weeks ago, a dry-hopped pale ale. I just now checked on it and found the bottom of the box they're in a bit damp. After further inspection, I found that the bottom blew out of one of the bottles.
OG was 1.044, FG 1.012 after 11 days in the primary. Left it in secondary for almost a month. Added 3/4 cup priming sugar and bottled. I thought I had done everything right, and was going to throw a couple in the fridge to try this week. But now I found that one of the bottles blew out and I'm not sure how to proceed.
If one blew out, are the rest of them in danger of exploding? Should I be afraid to open these bottles? Is this batch a bust or is it salvagable? Someone please advise a newbie on how to handle this.
