Hi all, my first go at brewing in about 5 years. Also only the 2nd time I had tried all grain (the first didn't go well, beer was very inconsistently carbonated, but hey stuck in the house let's try again).
Did 2 beers, both stouts, difference is added a fruit (Corozo, grows here in Colombia, something like a cross between a grape and a cherry) to one and coffee to another. Bottled after 2 weeks with next to no activity in the fermenters for several days. I'm on the Caribbean coast and do not have central a/c, room with fermentation and conditioning probably normally at about 80 F, cooler in the day when we are running A/C.
Put in 150g of brown sugar when bottling. Been a month plus a day since bottling, tried some at 2 weeks, was fine, got better. Had a buddy over Friday and we had 12 or so, all fine. Today, just after taking 6 down to my neighbors, I popped one that about half gushed when opened. Popped the other one that's cold and a bit of foaming over but not the same.
Now, these probably have had about 24 hours in the fridge, so maybe it's just that and/or combo of bad luck. But since I did give some away to my neighbors today that I also stuck in the fridge yesterday, is there any possibility bottles could actually blow? Like broken, projectile glass?
Also, the bottles still sitting, any chance they could blow? Or after a month am I past that likely happening, especially considering the warm temps, and sticking to 48 hours+ in the fridge to avoid this my solution?
Many thanks.
