KA-BOOM!!! Goes the Soda-Pop.
a week ago
Okay... Ever now and then, I makes my own ginger ale (based on those quick
recipes online).
After it's made, I'd pour it up into 2-liter bottles (cleaned and saved from
previous forays in soda drinking by mom and I), and let it become my own
ginger ale a couple of days afterwards.
I missed a bottle under my desk.
It EXPLODED.
Can anyone recall those Works bombs people sometimes made?
IT WAS THAT LOUD.
Scared mom out of her wits, but it sure as hell scared the FUCK out of me!!
What a mess to clean up! Two liters of home-made ginger ale shot to Hell!
Lesson learned: bleed the pressure off of your homemade "brew"
or deal with the huge-assed mess afterwards...
Now I'm giggling my ass off about it.

I had homemade Salsa go bang and break the jars i had it in. yeah turns out i had part of the mix wrong and it was half rotting half fermenting- which makes gas.

When it comes to preserving and canning - or bottling - my own food and drink, this is why I prefer to pay the $$ and buy it in a store. It's safer that way!
The explosion was because I didn't bleed the gas (CO2) off the bottle,
and the build-up was too much for even that plastic soda bottle.
