Hello Everyone,
I bottled my Boulder Street Wheat 9 days ago. It spent 9 days in the primary and 14 days in the secondary. I added quite a bit of honey at bottling and when I opened one, it blew the cap like a champagne cork. I haven't lost any bottles, but I was wondering if carbonation might break some of my bottles if it hasn't done so in 9 days. I don't want to make a mess of my house, so what are the chances the bottles will blow after 9 days?
edit: ***i used about 8 oz honey by weight in a 5 gallon batch.
