I had my first bottle bomb yesterday. When I got home, I went to get one of my Indomitable IPA's to put in the fridge. I noticed a strong hop smell and the bottom of my box was wet. Sure enough, one of my bottles had freakin' shattered! It was a Stone IPA bottle. Luckily, most of them were in Fischers pop top bottles, because I don't have room in the fridge for all of them. I opened them and recapped them real quick to let some pressure off.
I told my wife we're going to have to do some drinking this weekend. I've got about 12-15 of them. I might have to invite a friend over.
It was back before I really knew how to read my hydro, but it had a potential abv of 9 and ended up at 3. So I don't think I bottled too soon, I must have mismeasured the DME.
