hey guys,
i was primary fermenting an IPA for a month. my hydrometer broke, and i figured that it was a good enough time to bottle my beers since it had been over 4 weeks since brew day.
welp, yesterday, i found a broken bottle in my closet where my beers are bottle-conditioning... on another bottle, apparently the bottle-cap was not airtight, so there was a hissing sound coming from the lid. i opened the bottle for kicks and the beer shot out like a cannon (it was funny, but it took me an hour to clean the kitchen :/ ).
are my bottles salvageable, or am i just stuck with 40 bottle-grenades?
