Learned a lesson tonight.

So, I ended up with leftover of my Chocolate Milk Stout that was just not enough to fill a bottle, and I had one bottle crack during bottling.

I got a bright idea.

Soda Stream.

So I filled what I could into the soda stream bottle and slapped it into the machine, hit the button and giggled like an insane child.

It seems the insanity was correct.

When I untwisted the bottle from the machine, it shot out of my hand and became a beer fueled rocket. Kitchen, and wife who was cooking dinner behind me, covered in beer foam.

Please learn from my mistake. While it can be done, take great care in how.

Side note: The chocolate milk stout finished with an OG of 1.020, and tastes amazing. Even more so when carbed, as a little was still in the bottle after it took off.

Yeah, I tried that exactly one time as well. I think I spent more time cleaning the kitchen afterwards than I did brewing the beer.

The problem with that video is that the beer is still flat. Need to pump it till it squeals three times.

That video is actually what gave me the idea. I think the fact I was using a Stout, and didn't have the bottle full to the "fill line" on the bottle was the path to my faildom.

It looked like chocolate creme foam in the bottle as it shot out of my hands and across the kitchen.

LOL!!

Reminds me of one of my kids' favorite poems, "The Turkey Shot Out of the Oven" by Jack Prelutsky.
