MalcolmP3 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 G'day, I have been making Coopers Canadian Blond for years with great results. For the first time this year after the brew has been in the bottles for over two weeks I have had explosions. Because our temperature here in Qld.is over 30c I moved my bottled beers outside in the shade. I am still getting explosions. Any suggests would be welcome.

Hairy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Two possible reasons are: 1. The brew had not finished fermenting when you bottled it. 2. You may have over primed the bottles. Or both [crying] Did you take a hydrometer reading before you bottled? In the meantime it may be a good idea to cover the bottles with a blanket or similar to minimise the explosion.

Guest Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 you can wrap them in gladwrap, this wont stop them exploding if they are over-primed, but it will contain the mess and make it easier to clean up, place them all in a large box with space between them as well, this will also make cleanup easier... are you on AHB as well Malclom.. Im sure I just read something very similar to this over there. Yob [edit] as has been asked, what was the OG and FG of the brew? how long was it brewed? How much did you prime with? what ingredients... we really need a bit more info but the above advice will help with cleanup [ninja] and finally - welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyG4 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 make sure you wear goggles, gloves and long sleeves if you wrap them in glad wrap. during my first home brew escapades years ago, I once got exploding bottles. I couldn't even touch them, they were bloody dangerous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyG4 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 coincidentally, that was the first and last time I forgot to buy priming drops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
