So I bottle my second kit and used a few growlers in the mix. Two of which I had already bottle with (plastic caps) with no problems. Third one was a new one I got second hand (metal cap with some foam to seal). I go down to chek on them after a little under a week and see a weird beer spray like arc around this third bottle. Looks weird and is not fresh because its already a little sticky. I touch around the cap assuming it blew its gasket (literally) and its dry, I go to pick it up and the bottom stays on the shelf, emptying 64 oz onto my socks.
Sounds like an uneven mix of priming sugar perhaps leading to an over charged growler (I will do the gentle stir while bottling technique next time.
Also the break was weird, it was like the bottom was cut off, almost a perfect line right around the very bottom of the jug, leaving a flat little glass dish behind (a little bit curved up on the edges).
Anyone seen this happen? Bad growler design? Defect? Should I return the other ones from the same brewery?
