Bottle Bomb Tester

So I made a nice cider that I back sweetened with juice concentrate and in 24 hours it was ready to drink, nice and bubbly and sweet how I like it. To stop the over carbonation and possible "bottle Bombs" I placed all my bottles in the fridge to prevent bombs. Well I decided to leave one of the bottles out to see if and when the bottle decides to explode. I will post my results.

Thanks for doing this. :rockin:

Very cool! The darker side of me really wants to see a huge mess in that container. So forgive me when I don't wish you luck.

I use flip tops they just puke and don't blow but you might want someone else (with a sense of humor) to open the first one.

Thin plastic refrigerator drawers for protection? I don't think I'd want to be around if it the bottle goes boom!

you might consider this I get this stuff free from the local machine shop for it is used to protect stuff they use

Man, awesome I love the replies! Especially the one about failing. I actually want to see it fail too in a way... I want to see how long it takes. I will post pics and report how long it took and so on.

If she doesn't blow in a week or two, reach in there with a ball peen hammer Then TAKE PICS!

Ha ha okay. I'm surprised Big Brother hasn't got me for my title ha ha

HAHAHA, this is awesome! Worst of luck to ya!

How 'bout a LIVE WEBCAM so I can try to witness the inevitable massive explosion? You could literally have tens of people staring at a bottle all day!

youz guys are cracking me up.

"tens of people" I laughed

Nothing going on ... Yet

Get in there and give it a little shake

DAILY PHOTO UPDATE, PLEASE.

You get the LIVE WEBCAM up and running yet?

Nothing man, NOTHING! I even flipped it over a few times.

Here's some pics, I thought I would throw in my hareebrownbeest dog. He inspired my login name. Do you see the imprint on the cap? My capper leaves them and usually it's a good indicator when the indent is gone. But it still remains. Hmmmm

Nice pug. Now get the webcam up and running and put on some safety glasses, gloves, and jock strap for Pete's sake!

Wait! I think I can see the cap bulging a little!

Better keep that sucker in the plastic shield and STAND BACK! Oh and please continue to post a daily photograph so we can keep a close eye on the progress!!

My capper leaves deep circular indent on my bottles too. Do you have a pic of your capper? Mine is an old metal contraption with a very few plastic parts. I also have one of those red plastic jobs but that one was terrible.

Made in Italy! Ha Ha

Woot!

Nice! Works great for me.

I read the directions on the box and it says you need to oil the pivot points, never done that yet.

I can't decide if this is the most epic thread ever, or the most fail thread ever.

maybe you should move into the sun:rockin:

Funny, it's the one post that I've got the most responses in.

It's in it now.

Well I, for one, welcome our new non-exploding bottle overlords.

Me neither, but I didn't get a box. Bought it used. It doesn't need oil, believe me.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, how many hours left on the clock? tick-tock, tick-tock, how many hours left on the clock? tick-tock, tick-tock...

We did something similar back in high school. Over primed a PET bottle on purpose. Once it had carbed up there was so much pressure in that thing that the bottom no longer had the nice stand bit but was all round out. Threw that thing high in the air and ran, sounded like a granade when it landed!

Good morning. Daily update please. New photo has been officially demanded.
