my first bottle bomb

[cask is best]

never have i had one until this morning. swmbo's wilko fruit cider in proper new beer bottles blew the bottom of the bottle clean off.
They have been very lively a few she has opened have been gushers. My question is te bottles were capped in April i thought if you were to get a bomb they would go off soon. after bottling. the kit was made as per instructions too

Just about to mention that the same thing happened to me, also capped in April. I haven't checked the others since :pray:

The very first time and only time I made beer was back in the days where you couldn't buy beer kits before 12 midday on a Sunday.

All my bottles exploded, it didn't help taping the plastic stoppers to the bottles with electricians tape

Never made beer since.

This bugger didn't blow the caps it sheared the bottom clean off. I heard a clatter of bottles and thought the kids are mucking about. Was about to get out of bed [around 0730 well i'm on hols] when swombo came in and said one of her ciders has sheard straight off. It looks like it has took off like a rocket tipped upside down and landed among all the other bottles. As i said i thought exploding bottles only happened straight after bottling not3 months later. Learn something everyday

It makes a hell of a mess, I had beer dripping through the ceiling from the room upstairs where the bottles were stored :shock:

I,ll probably give beer another whirl sometime, but I'll get a pressure keg this time
