maybe not so good

I have a quick question. When using Coopers Carb drops it says on the back.

1 per stubbie
2 per long neck

Im assuming a long neck is a regular 12 oz bottle. Does that sound about right using 2 drops per 12 oz bottle?

 

[nallanrex]

only 1 drop per 12oz bottle

damnit... Ok so lets say someone didnt know that and used 2 per 12 oz bottle... what are the chances of them exploding?

 

[slomo]

Stubbie and long neck are both 12 oz bottles

 

[slomo]

They could explode, but I have never used carb drops before. I would at very least place them in an area where it will be easy to clean if they do go.

 

[nallanrex]

lol uh oh. Hypathetical situation of course?

Well the guys of basic brewing accidentally put 2 of those drops in and they didn't explode. But that was only one bottle.

Do you have anything you can grab the other drop with? long tweezers, chopsticks?

They are already capped but all stored in a large rubber made container with the lid secured... if they blow they wont go anywhere... looks like its a wait and see situation.

Not where the world is upside down (and where Cooper's Drops are made).

48 hours later and no popped tops or exploded bottles

agreed, they do make 10oz stubbies. Like Red stripe bottles.

Actually, I was making joke of the fact that Australia (where Cooper's Drops are made) does not generally use ISB beer bottles. Beer there is normally sold in 375ml bottles they call stubbies or 750ml bottles called "long necks".

Both terms have different meanings here North of the equator.

Well I couldnt resist and I opened one up the other day to see how close the bottles are to exploding. And Ill be damned if there was only the smallest hiss when I opened it up. No carbonation yet at all. (still too early I know) But I still drank the beer anyways and damn it was good. If you like a mild/sweet Irish red check out NorthernBrewers kit.

Now if I can just get some damn bubbles in there.
