In retrospect, I'm an idiot. The very last beer that I bottled from my first batch went into a 22oz bottle....I filled less than half the bottle. I just went to open it..and BOOM...the metal cap blew off like like flying shrapnel....hit the ceiling and then the fountain of beer started flowing out of the bottle and all over the kitchen. Thank god I wasn't directly over the beer when I popped the top. I'm guessing the reason why this happened was because there was soooo much room in the bottle for pressure to build up..since it was only about half full. Does that sound right to you guys?
