A splendid idea

Hello Martin,


Creating software is mess-free, except for the occasional beer spill
onto the keyboard. Making beer is not. We have done it back in the
college days and had to stop when neighbors complained about the stench.
Oh, and we had a few crates of bottle fermenting stuff explode in
somebody's dorm room.

Regards, Joerg

I didn't have too much problems with that sort of thing, although I did
have some bottles that wanted to keep fermenting ever so slowly.  I had
a couple of batches with exploding bottles, including one bottle that
simply disappeared, leaving it's cap behind in the space from which it
left the world.  I never even found the pieces.

I had a beer self destruct one time at around 2 in the morning. I have
never got out of bed so quick, i thought someone was trying to steal
my stash. When this one went it took out a few around it too. I
remember finding peices of that bottle in the most obscure places for
years to com.

Not a fermentation story, but I had a twelve-pack go off at 9:00AM (I
was on the computer) on a Sunday morning.  My wife forgot the 12pk in
the garage the day before and it was -25F that night.  

<<<<BOOM!>>>>  then amazing little fizzy solid things dancing all
around the garage.  Only half the cans went off, so playing bomb-squad
I snuck up on the rest and covered them in a heavy blanket before
carrying them into the house where they could be disposed of. A couple
more went off while I was planning the bomb removal.  They looked like
mortars coming out of the carton.
