had my first bottle explode. have you?
had my first bottle explode. have you?
Making some apple soda with store bought juice and a ginger bug. Previous juices have needed 2 days to carb and that was supposed to be today. Yesterday, one self vented, so I burped all 3. Today, one exploded. Never expected it.
Is store bought apple juice different than other store bought juices? Is my ginger bug different than last time? Idk.
I keg so avoid that, however, I’ve had a violent fermentation that Sistine Chapel’d my ceiling as if it were painted by Jackson Pollock.
The ginger bug is probably what affected it here, my wonderful neighbour has given me a few homemade bottles of ginger beer before, and one's exploded in the fridge, the other had enough pressure build to blow the lid off when opening from a remaining 2 inches of dregs.
Apparently, there's just something about ginger fermentation that really builds pressure
Mechanical stress builds up in glass over time, so like that stupid homemade submarine, it could have been weakened and finally just blew.
I don't think thats how glass works. If it did, tempered glass would slowly lose the stress that makes it tempered.
Yeah you need to find good bottles, I had some explode too.
