Exploding Homebrew

[johndawson420]

you either over primed or didnt let it condition long enough, 2 weeks isnt enough time for all the co2 to go back into the beer which is why this prolly happened.

[dtdaley]

too much sugar



[BookofNick]

I guess be lucky it didn't shatter the bottle?

[Jocke1336]

and they got drunk as hell that night and lived happy all their life

[Nobe585]

@Jocke1336 Yes, that is basically what happened!

[Ch0coDK]

LMAO! A fountain of beer!

[jsmithLMSL]

Carbonation for the win!

[baskstarcraft]

You can make your beer do the same thing if you put a whole leaf hope inside the bottle. It will make a nice eruption like that and spit out the hop. it is pretty cool and adds some different flavor to a beer.

[29Kolsen]

So I guess you have figured out by now that the beer was still fermenting when you bottled it huh :) I did the same thing with an Irish stout. Hydrometer!

[jewsh666]

very cool

[BuildingIntelligence]

if you ask me i think he likes it. i think i do to. a lotttle

[TheAmazingSwan]

Did you use a couple pounds of dextrose to prime?

[maybaby7777]

Should have vented the bottle, could have saved a lot of precious homebrew!

[technick78]

that's awesome - thanks for the laugh :)

[gokorn1]

how long did you let it bottle for? maybe a bit longer

[Nobe585]

It was bottled at least two weeks... I would worry that any longer and the house might have gone up!

[ejb1984]

how did it taste

[Nobe585]

despite loosing a good deal of carbonation, it was still rather delicious!

[samljer]

too much priming sugar lol...

[themadscientest]

epic fail

[krippendroph]

wow good thing that didnt turn into a bottle gernade

[quaternio]

misplaced a decimal in your priming calculations, did we?

[RGH1502]

well its a good thing you had it in that tupperware...

[Spacemarinaio]

near white wall :) lol

[cbrzyx]

Its better than having the stuff pop on its own in your closet, or wherever.

[Helloween85]

lol man! :°/

[Nobe585]

10,000 views!!! thanks to all those who have watched and passed this along.

[hunt0707]

cool vid

[geonerd]

The beer needs a few tablespoons of sugar, not cups! LOL

Glad you saved some for drinking. :)

[hunt0707]

is that a wine bottle?

[Nobe585]

Actually it's a champagne bottle; American 'sparkling wine' bottles can be capped the same as beer bottles - holds 1.5 liters.

[hunt0707]

very nice i'll be saving those instead of recycling now thanks dude!!

[eyesofnova]

lol, to much priming sugar boys?

[DudePowa]

hahaha ! i hope that mine wont do that to !

[coxy0022]

guuuusshhhhers

[patrickjohn84]

Damn, I hope that doesn't happen to me. That sucks. It's worth the laugh though.

[Nobe585]

we did manage to save most of the beer for consumption. It was good I might add.

[steviebboy69]

that was funny great way to mess up the kitchen or what ever place you open up.

i have had bottles explode and its not very funny quite scary actually.

i put them carefully into one of those plastic storage containers and put them down the back yard.

nice vid u made here though.

[dorseymarshall]

Hilarious!

Looks like you may have either primed with too much sugar or bottled before primary fermentation was complete. Still, that's funny. Thanks for putting it up.

[StopMotionMind]

cool.

that bowl sure was a good idea :P

[Nobe585]

It did save half the bottle for consumption, and that was a really good beer.

[26Samuel26]

lucky the bottle didnt explode
