Woke up last night to a popping doing accompanied by the sound of glass breaking.
Yep my first bottle bomb.
I had split the batch into regular 12 oz'ers and 22s I did the 22's at the end of the bottling process. This time I used table sugar (cane)instead of corn. I hadn't bottled for months as kegs have made a lazy man of me. I noticed about a week ago th the 12 oz bottles were under carved and the 22's were over carved with some sweetness still left (3weeks in bottle)
Should I put the 22's in the fridge to prevent more bombs or am I just screwed?
Maybe pop the tops and re cap to let the pressure off?
In the future how can I prevent this, stir the bottling bucket with the racking cane to ensure even distribution? I usually just rack the beer onto the priming sugar solution
