OK, If you've homebrewed for any length of time, you've probably had a batch do this. I'm attributing this to not spending enough time in the fermenter
Man, the messes I've made while brewing. Nothing beats the ol' trub-clogged airlock on a five gallon bucket though. Had one do that and I was awakened at 2 in the morning to what sounded like a shotgun going off. Checked the closet and it looked like someone had detonated 5 gallons of beer and trub over every square inch on my closet. And you're very right....the wife is NEVER happy about these situations.
I've had some vigorous brews recently. I just leave the airlock and bung off with a jug over the top. I think I lost 1 - 2 litres of beer to kraussen overflow. The airlock kept popping, and the pets were really interested, but the house smelled of beer. Anyway, they both turned out really fantastic.
Thats why i open my batches in the bathtub and keep them in a large bin in my closet to ferment. Im gonna try to put some cheesecloth on my next cider batch to see if i can ferment it without any chance of an explosion
I added sugar to a growler I thought was finished fermenting then waited about 2 months it didn’t burst out like that but the amount of co2 that was released made me shocked it didn’t explode.
I made this mistake when I made my first beer batch. Small amounts of sugar in each bottle and refrigerate just slightly above freezing after a few days will prevent this problem
@@joshuapinter They're meant for transportation and serving from kegs, but I don't know why you wouldn't condition in them if they're made for pressure. I have some steel growlers that can do more pressure than any glass I have.
I´ve had some beers that exploded as well, really sucks. By the way, do yo carbonate growlers directly? I was looking forward to that but many folks disagreed.
If it haven't happened at least once to you, then you're not a total home brewer. I normally had this problems with the hard seltzer, but with the beers I have it controlled yet.
I disagree. Just be more patient and this doesn't have to happen. It's not a right of passage, just a admission of impatience. That being said, I, too, have done this. But worse. Exploding glass everywhere. Won't make that mistake again.
Can anyone drop me some advice ref the above please, I’ve done an ipa but I’m sure I’ve over primed it, it’s been bottled for 7 days now and I opened one last night for a test and it didn’t volcano out but it fizzed just enough so a small bit of foam breached the top. I opened another and it did the same. Will this progress any worse and potentially cause bottle bombs or is it just a bit over primed? (I didn’t lose any beer due to gushing and it tastes great) thanks all!
It probably wasn't done fermenting in the first place. And with the extra priming sugar, there was just to much to ferment. Be really sure your beer is fully fermented in your primary bucket or whatever you use. It will probably get worse, or the same. But unfortunaly, it will not get better.
@@rasmus6352 thanks for replying! I did wonder but it was in the primary fermenter for 2 weeks and the FG was unmoved for the last 4 days. Think I’ll get as much as I can in the fridge on Friday night and have a session on it this weekend haha, oh well, it’s an excuse to get another brew going!
@@tremblayalex8915 oh okay, yeah the fermentation should be done in under two weeks. Maybe you added too much priming sugar? Try to chill them at the lowest temp you can, the "foaminess" will reduce if it's really cold. Anyhow, cheers and enjoy your beer dude!
Wow you wasted all that good beer. I open them very slowly and if the foam starts rising put it upside-down over a glass. Sqirt some into the glass than turn back up and release more co, then repeat till no more pressure. I do it all the time it only takes one minute to open and drink. Wear safety glasses and gloves if you want, is better than wasting beer.
You should do that I did not release gas for a day and when j did it this morning it foamed up I only lost a tiny tiny bit though just hope I have not contaminated it
Not unless he distracts her with his other great brews. Up production bro, the pros will outwiegh the cons. Definitely clean that up before she sees tho
The wife is not gonna be happy with that😝
It seems that, five years later, this video gets recommended by UA-cam to the entire homebrew community. :D
a tip: watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Hendrix Sergio Yup, been using flixzone} for since november myself =)
@Hendrix Sergio Yea, have been using flixzone} for years myself :)
@Hendrix Sergio yea, I have been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D
@Hendrix Sergio yup, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself :D

Entertainment has many forms!! Thanks for the laugh 😂
I like the way you were so calm about the whole thing
You’re lucky those didn’t explode before you opened them.
Can confirm, I had some exploded bottles. That batch was also bottled too soon.
Yes. Very lucky. I did this once and had a bottle explode and hit the 8 foot ceiling. I'm still finding pieces of glass in the rafters...
@@MVerstappen i've never had a bottle explosion - at most, bottle caps flying up.
This made my night. Thanks for sharing
Lucky to not have that growler explode!

This is my favorite video on UA-cam

I once opened a swing top of overcarbonated home brew over my balcony and it shot 15 feet and blew the cap right off the bottle
LOL great job man you live and learn
He got all the brewing equipment in the divorce :) j/k
thanks for sharing!

I see that trader joes ginger beer bottle in the back
I had some kvass in a swing top bottle that was only half full and exploded about 2 feet up
Do you bottle condition in the growler?
Very lucky not to be picking shards of glass out of your eyeballs.
Don't bottle condition in a growler!
Noob here. Why not?
@@joshuapinter They're meant for transportation and serving from kegs, but I don't know why you wouldn't condition in them if they're made for pressure. I have some steel growlers that can do more pressure than any glass I have.
You can, you just scale the sugar differently, same as if you were conditioning a keg with sugar.
I’m assuming they were over carbonated?
Haha! We have had some over carbs, but holy dang
You know it's supposed to stay in the fermenter for more than 30 minutes before bottling, right?
It happens.
Posted 5 years ago, hopefully you've learned your lesson.
you are all over UA-cam:)
@@TheEllegaard If there is a beer on youtube, ive seen it.
@@Unsub-Me-Now haha. My man, THE BEAST! Have a good one Brajs;)
My bottle glass break last night😢
The wife is not gonna be happy about that
your so lucky...AS WE SPEAK... My room stinks cause my 5 liter burst and shot so high it hit the roof...my alarm went wild XD oh lord the smell AAAAH
Liquid gold for your septic!!!!!
Oh. My. Gush.
glad i have airlocks lol
Been there!!

Juan Francisco Vergez You can use sucrose drops but go easy on them
Growlers are not designed for pressure like that.

Pour it in a glass and call it a hazy ipa..
Was thinking about the three stooges.. bottles by a fire “we all put the yeast in!”
Oh my god
Wow! That's too bad....🙄😥😭
I've done this more thay once unfortunately
Maybe I need to crack one to see if mine need some gas releasing
You should do that I did not release gas for a day and when j did it this morning it foamed up I only lost a tiny tiny bit though just hope I have not contaminated it
@@Muza1616 I doubt you’ve contaminated it mate as long as your generally clear with your equipment you should be just fine.
Maybe put a tea towel over it next time.
Apres avoir manger de la bouffe indiennes lolll
"explosion".....
laugh so hard
Way over conditioned!!!!
You can't over-condition. You can over-prime.

Did you just shorten "2021" to "2k21"? Fuck me.
@@lenoz welcam 2 da foocha
Stop wasting it, open over your primary and let ferment a couple days more 🙄 and bulk prime!!!!!!!!
Carbing in a growler 👎🏻
Idk.whatev
It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen
Haven't seen much have you?
