Hi forum,
I have recently put on my first brew in a very basic home brew kit bought from my local brew shop. Because I don't have a hydrometer im sort of restricted when it comes to specific gravity measurements so I came up with the idea of doing one or two trial bottles to see how they reacted after about 9 days.
My question is, how long would it take an incorrectly bottled bottle to burst, and also your opinions on the length of primary fermentation would be welcomed. I wish to know so i could be sure if the bottles were ready to be filled if a test bottle survived a number of days
I look forward to your replies
