New here... Have a a couple of questions

[foolsbrew]

Some update.. SO i was walkign today and i saw my room smells like beer. I looked and saw theres a mess under my beers box. One of them was exploded from under. i moved the box to balcony which is colder now. My bottles were fake prolly, they were new but not thick enough

By the way, did you put them in the dishwasher or oven or sanitize them in some way before bottling? It's been only a week, they should be nowhere near the full pressure. My guess is you added way more sugar than you thought or the bottles are way weaker or they/some are infected.

Best of luck, tread very carefully from here on. They were old beer bottles, right? If they are made for some other kind of liquid that would explain a lot.

Sorry to hear you got a mess with the broken bottles.

Have you opened one that's still good? First wrap a thick cloth or towel around it when handling/opening it. Transport it over to the sink. Careful it could still burst.
When opening, do you hear a loud hiss?
Pour into a glass. How is the carbonation? Very foamy?
How does it taste?
These are all indicators of what went well (and what didn't) during the whole brewing process.
Learn from the (small) mistakes and make improvements.

Do you have a link to the kit or ingredients you used?

Nice call on wrapping with a towel . Stitches suck !

I mean thick, at least a tripled up bath towel, 4 layers of thick terry, 1/4" thick solid cloth between the bottle and hands. Not kidding!
Wearing leather working gloves in combo with the thick towel is even better. And a full face mask!

Or welders gloves and apron, to be sure.

This one guy posted a picture of his ruined bath/shower stall. Shattered glass doors (that's tempered security glass), and bottle shards deeply embedded in his tub surround, drywall walls, ceiling, door... He was so glad to be away on vacation.

Considering your OG and 9L added water and the 1.05 target, you beer should be about 5% alcohol.
This means you are an alcoholic

Since all of them had decent carbonation, they probably had too much yeast per bottle rather than being infected. Look into cold crashing and gelatin fining to learn how to make crystal clear beer.

When you are drinking them, pour them to a glass by slanting the bottle and make sure you leave the yeast at the bottom, which should be settled for the most part at this point. They will taste way better without the yeast, just saying this in case you were drinking from the bottle.

You also fermented it way too hot. Your room was around 25C, the fermentation probably happened to be near 30C. This produces a bunch of nasty stuff. Majority of the fermentation(for ales) should happen around 15-20C. On top of this, it's heavily oxidized from all the times you opened the fermenter and poured it in for bottling.

I am guessing it leaves a bitter taste after you swallow a pint. Being an alcoholic, I am also guessing you are going to return to homebrewing soon Might I suggest a BIAB lager? Your balcony is cold enough and you won't produce any off flavors at these temperatures. You just need a bag, some grains, and a yeast.

Lol, I've done that a couple times in my life. The last time I was about your age and it was brutal. Yeager bombers ......saying that makes me gag lol and that was about 16yrs ago. I dont want to get drunk . I just like the taste of craft beers . I like enjoying them . I drink 2 and 3 at the most and that's it for me .

When visiting the states contact me for some good home made beer (I'm not too far from Dulles Airport in Chantilly, VA).

Of course, when I visit the Czech Republic I want Pilsen on tap.
