broken bottles

desiderata · Jul 28, 2006

A couple of weeks after bottling and I've lost a six pack (still two cases left, though) from explosions. Should I immediately place the remaining bottles in the fridge to prevent further carbonation, or should I let them continue to condition? BTW, I did sample one, and it is not bad (for my first batch)--nothing to brag about, but it is drinkable at this point. Thanks in advance.

Get your video camera and stick it on your remaining bottles...I've always wanted to get bottle-bombs on video!

Nevermind, I just lost another bottle. I'm moving them to the fridge now, even if they aren't completely conditioned. I just hope none of them break in the fridge. Next time, I'll be more careful with the priming and make sure they are completely fermented before bottling.

That's the main reason for owning and using a hydrometer. ..to insure your fermentation is complete.

I'll be in Ft Stewart later this year. Want to get together for some brews?
