I think I might have just averted disaster. I went down to the basement last night to check on my homemade ginger beer. It's supposed to be ready tomorrow. I'd been keeping it in a box, hoping to muffle any yeast-powered explosions.
So, I took a look and all the metal lids were buckled outward with the building pressure inside. I loosened Bottle #1: Fizzzz, but everything was fine. The same thing with Bottle #3. Then I tried to open Bottle #2: First, the sound of gas escaping under extremely high pressure, then lots of ginger beer spurting out of the bottle in a column, like a geyser. I don't know if that means it's going to be good or bad. Or maybe I ruined it by opening it before tomorrow.
I suppose we'll see tomorrow.
