Hi first time post, I had a similar problem with my second brew (corona kit beer), I was sure I had everything right, correct FG and all for my brew, all was good until about 15 days later when around 20 of them went bang. I asked the bloke at the homebrew shop who said it sounded like I bottled too early, he advised to open one warm (of the ones that survived) and if it fizzes over like a champagne bottle then get them in the fridge, chill and drink as quick as you can coz there is a good chance the rest may go.

I've been told that temperature doesnt affect the beer once bottled but have read a lot contradicting this, since having 20 blow up (inside and on carpet) i've moved all other batches outside into the shed, I have a James Squire Golden ale clone and soon will have a redback clone done. Bad move?

I have several more questions but dont want to take over this post, I hope your beer doesnt fizz over like a champagne bottle
