Pls no explosions

Hi was wondering if anyone can tell me if storage has anything to do with bottles exploding?? I store them in my laundry, alls good through winter but the room gets up to 30•C in summer

Usually bottles only explode if:

1. You didn't finish fermenting before bottling.
2. You added too much priming sugar.
3. Possibly caught an infection at bottling that ate additional unfermentable sugars in the bottles.

Those are really the only usual reasons bottle explode. As long as you've finished fermenting and hit FG. Added only the appropriate amount of priming sugar. You should not have exploding bottles.

going from 70 to 86 degrees is the equivalent of .5 of CO2 or 10 PSI. Being that bottles of beer don't explode in my vehicle on the way home from the store, I don't think you are going to have a problem. I never hear about the beer trucks driving around all day in the sun having problems with exploding bottles. If you're still worried, you could carbonate to 2 volumes instead of 2.5.
