I have a belgian dark strong that I bottled a dozen in corked 750ml bottles. They are currently resting on their sides at room temp where they have been for the past 4 months. Yesterday i come home from work to a wonderful beer smell. Look around and one of the bottles popped. The cork shot off and left the cage in tact, beer everywhere. Is this due to overcarbonating, or poor corking/caging? I'm going to stand them upright and try to keep them cool (conditioning temp) now that they are carbonated. I was planning on giving the corked bottles out for xmas...sucks for whoevers that one was. Anyway, this ever happen to anyone else?
