    Every man should also know that he can't use regular beer bottles and recap them with his new beer in them.

    Think ---- pack of firecrackers-------but with a fridge full of beer.

    my new beer

    GW,

    One should be able to use one's old beer bottles to hold one's new beer, but one must first make sure the fermentation is done. If not, one learns quickly why champagne bottle are so thick and why the corks are wired down.

    Bruce,
    You beat me to the punch. Exploding beer bottles...been there, done that, didn't like it the first time. Besides ensuring fermentation is complete before bottling, you need to be careful about how much wort you use to prime the bottles for carbonation...too much, beer bombs; too little, flat beer. One other thing can cause bursting bottles, contamination. A wild yeast or a bacterial fermentation can digest sugars that your selected beer yeast left alone. Best case this results in off flavors in your beer...worst case, beer bombs.

    Cheers,
    Ed
