Ahhh I feel your pain. I had my first bottle bomb last week and ended up having to waste 10 bottles. Luckily I’d just gotten a couple 5L mini kegs and had force carbonated one, and used the same sugar ratio as the bottles in the other. I’ve pushed off pressure from the natural keg a few times...

I’m only about 40 mins away so collected it, cost me £700 but got everything needed for brewing with it. Good bit of kit!
