hi all, i brewed a magnums strawberry cider and a normal cider kit, forgotten the name.
i fermented each for 12 days then bottled them, i primed the strawberry cider as i wanted it fizzy and didnt prime the normal cider as i wanted that flat.
now, i know its only a fortnite since i bottled them but i opened one of each today to see how they were getting along, the strawberry one smells vinegary and eggy, i clean all my equipment thoroughly so id be surprised if it was an infection.
the normal un-primed cider is massively carbonated, i opened one bottle and it emptied itself in 5 seconds, it went everywhere, i dont get it, i didnt prime that batch? i went to put a bottle of it in the fridge to cool down and hopefully slow the carbonation but dropped it from about a foot height and i went off like a bomb!
these batchs cost me £50 i hope i dont have to bin them.
