I Brewed an Irish Red a few weeks ago. I Let it ferment a week then it racked over. Let it sit for 2 weeks in secondary then bottled. Its been in the bottle for a week. I came home today and one of the bottles was broke(noticed the beer closet smelled like beer and I dont have anything fermenting at the moment)! Any way I looked at all three batches that I have bottled and found one Irish Red broke. They are in Grolsh Bottles. I used 1/2 cup of corn sugar to prime. SSG was 1.058. Final was 1.010. I used Whitelabs Irish Ale yeast for the batch. Do you guys think the bottle was already cracked and I didnt notice, or do you think I bottled too early or over primed? Im hoping it was a cracked bottle because I dont want to have 40 pint sized bombs in my closet(and I brewed them for my vacation at the end of june and hope Ill have em to drink). Take a look at the pic and tell me what you think. :-[ Thanks,
