Bottle Bomb!!

[screamlead]

1st Bottle bomb - happened last night - one of my sour cherry ciders.

Found a really weak point on the bottle where it must have burst through - SWMBO heard it and cleaned the mess up - Bless!
But the other is a reused miller bottle - thought i would try to reuse them and its turned out perfect - lovely carbonation. Dont look clear as it got some of the dregs into the glass but all in all impressed with it. Lovely taste and nice and fizzy with a sour twang coming though! Mint!!
Chucked all the rest of the 30 bottle batch in the fridge - hopefully to stop any more bombs lol

You must have a big fridge. Barely room for food in my fridge without trying to get 30 bottle in :shock:

How much priming sugar did you use? per litre

Level t-spoon per bottle - 500ml also the sugar is different here too - sometimes its like castor sugar sometimes normal ish and sometimes looks normal but is way sweeter?
No standarisation like good old tate and lyle
