Hi All,
Tinlife here!
I recently put on 22litres of the Canadian Ale from Wilko - used 1kg of dry malt, 250g of brewing sugar, and dry hopped from day one (which I suspect was a bad idea).
Bottled it on day 7 which was yesterday after 2 days of the same reading. I wanted to wait longer but I also want a decent load at hand over xmas. Bottled in the 750ml Coopers plastic bottles, with 3 of the wilko carbonation tablets in each, and put them under the sink to condition. This morning I've checked and several of the bottles are already rockhard. I've never had them firm up so fast. Does this sound like an explosive bottle situation??
