Possbile Bottle Bombs!!!

[Mountainbeers]

So I apparently just had a brain fart and put 3/4 cup of corn sugar in a 3 gal batch. Am I going to have bottle bombs? These are in Grolsch swingtop bottles if that changes anything.

its possible, since they are swing top though, you could open them to relieve some pressure from time to time.

I calculated it using this calculator:

Looks like I'm going to get about 4.1 volumes of CO2. BJCP allows for that much in some Wheat Beers and some Lambics so I'm just going to relieve some pressure in a couple of days and then let them go.

Anybody object?

Grolshes are pretty thick bottles, so as long as the seals hold they should be ok.

Agreed, no bottle bombs.

I say open and immediately close all at 5 days.
