It was Leffe bottle, that i used for bottling my beer. The bottle was in the aging stage, at 5 degree Celsius, and after 2 weeks, BOOM. The bottle had a fabrication defect, the slimmest wal had 1.5mm.
I am glad that it hadn`t cracked when it was in the second fermentation stage, and i had it in my house.
What i learned from this, and hope to help others, is to cover the bottle with a blanket, and fix it there, in case is exploding to retain the shards.



 
Sort of surprised a Leffe bottle broke but if you caught a defect then that makes a lot of sense.

You didn't over-carb them, did you?
