A while back I made a Winter Warmer to take up north for the holidays. It called to bottle with blackstrap molasses, and it came out great. It wasn't over carbed or anything, but I think the 900 mile trunk ride (up and back), and the freezing temperatures may have contributed to this. After about a week of warming back up, a growler and 2 12oz bottles exploded all over my carpet and walls.
Whenever I've heard the words "bottle bomb", I've always thought there was shrapnel all over the place like a hand grenade. Im just glad the bottoms broke off instead of having a zillion glass pieces to pick out of the carpet.
Now its off to rent a carpet steamer. Why couldnt this have happened with a simple wheat beer instead of an almost black beer?!
