I just woke up this morning at 8:30(I went to bed at 4:00) to what I thought to be a gunshot. I jumped out of bed from a dead sleep and opened my closet to find one of my oatmeal stouts sprayed all over my closet and shards of glass everywhere. My body was in such shock, that I was shaking uncontrollably for about 10 minutes haha.
That was one hell of way to wake up. Also, I've been all grain brewing for over a year now(every saturday) and I'm no noob. I guess either I over carbed it(the rest of the batch was perfectly carbed) or it wasn't done fermenting..even though I left it in primary for 30 days and then bottled.
Anyone else have bottle bomb stories or have any tricks to avoid this? I use brown sugar to bottle and I've never had this problem before. I also don't have the option of throwing them in the fridge after 3 weeks of conditioning(not enough fridge space)
