I have always been very precise about my bottling when it comes to amount of priming sugars, ensuring full attenuation, etc. The other day I bottled a half gallon batch of cider that was fully fermented (grav readings confirmed), but for some reason just brain farted on calculating the sugar additions at bottling and didn't measure at all. I didn't use a lot of sugar, maybe a few spoonfuls, but that was clearly WAY too much. A week later I came home to glass ALL OVER my kitchen, even up on high cabinets.
The point being, this bottle really exploded with a LOT of force and sent glass everywhere. Very happy SWMBO and myself were at work at the time...word to the wise, be very mindful of doing this correctly, it has the potential to be very dangerous.
