MASSIVE WARNING!!!!
Dove just let me know that my beer (18) in the case swap exploded!
I've never had a beer explode before and I can't apologise enough to Dove and everyone else for producing this for the case swap.
I'm not quite sure what went wrong, as this is the first explosion I've had in nearly four years of brewing.
Possibly an unseen error, faulty scales or something else when priming.
Once again sorry to everyone. I hope there has been no more explosions. I can only suggest that you handle with care, open in the sink or outside, let the volcano erupt and this drink about 10-15 mins later
Sorry guys
 
Thanks for letting us know. Just snuck it straight into the fridge.
FWIW, if the beer gets hot (e.g.: 30°C) the effective pressure inside the bottle goes up enormously compared to 15-20°C. Also, i've heard the unfermentables in high grav beers can potentially ferment out a little more in the bottle.
So it might not be that you messed anything in particular up. ;)
