Hey guys,
I come to you today with a very important question: have you ever had an unopened swing top liter bottle of beer/homebrew explode?
I must ask this as one of mine just did this. No one was hurt thankfully. I bought these cool looking cobalt blue 1 Liters and have rarely use them. Purchased them recently. This has never happened with my brown ones, so I am thinking I have a bad batch or bottles not rated to hold pressurized beer. At this point in time, it isn't worth risking so I'll be smashing and trashing the pretty blue ones. Now, should I keep my brown.
I bottle a lot of beer and pay loads of attention to sanitization, so I doubt these are infected bottles. I also bottle a few 1 Liter and then generally a case of regulars. These regulars never explode and hardly ever turn out infected. I haven't had an infected bottle in the last 20 batches or an overcarbed bottle. Let me know your thoughts and experience.
