So I "brewed" up some apfelwein in mid-January and I bottled it 3 weeks ago. I used a variety of plastic bottles I had around and filled them up with the apfelwein. I had heard that alot of people do this without any issues.
However, some of the bottles are swelling up to the point where it looks like they're going to explode! For example, I bottled some in used Ocean Spray containers and they've ballooned out significantly. Other packages like the Simply Orange and the Lucky Leaf are fine though. Do I have to worry about these bottles exploding?
I didn't add any priming sugar or anything at bottling. Has anyone seen this before?
