Hi everyone,
I've made bottle bombs and I don't know how or what to do next. I made about 45 stubbies just over 2 weeks ago and I just discovered at least two have blown.
I did a dual batch of BIAB and fermented them simultaneously. One batch went down to a stable FG of 1006 over three days, the other down to 1010 for four days.
Then I cold crashed them to 2 degrees for two days and bottled them. I had never cold crashed before, I'm thinking this might have caused a problem as I bottled them when the beer was still approxiately 2 degrees celsius. Would the beer expanding to room summer temperature of 35 degrees (on some days) from an initial bottling temperature / density at 2 degrees celsuis be the most probable cause?
And I have no idea what I'm meant to do now... open them carefully (wearing PPE) and dump them? I'll be very upset if it comes to that. This was my first round of all grain
Thanks in advance
