So yeah, it took me nine months of brewing to do it, but I got my first bomb.

It was an experimental ginger beer batch. When I went back and looked at my numbers, I had miscalculated the priming sugar and primed to 4.2 volumes. Oops!

Naturally, it went off at 1:30 am directly under the bedroom and scared the **** out of my wife. Thankfully, it was in the cellar, so no damage to the actual house.

I put my bottles in 6 pack containers while carbonating. Helps to contain the glass if they bomb. Only have had two in like 5 years. Fingers crossed. LOL
