That's up to the yeast. They may gush when you open them, or they may be fine.

cheers Beernut. I would prefer the gush rather than beer all over my spare room:eek:

Just put them somewhere they can explode safely if that's what they decide to do.

Were they heaped teaspoons or level?

Chill before opening...

Store below 20deg if you can

I've seen bottles where the caps are bent out of shape like a little cap due to the pressure! Very scary!

It does depend on the yeast. I would not like to be around if one explodes.

Its one of the reasons I usually use OxBar bottles, worst case scenario is just a big mess! You can also "feel" the carbonation since the bottles become much harder.

I'd put the bottles in a cardboard box so that if one does explode, its somewhat contained at least. And I'd open then carefully, also in the box.

I would put them in a black sack or double bagged black sack and then in the box.

(:rolleyes:) them in a cardbox for a week then put them outside. Heres hoping they don't go off for halloween thrills!!
