Bottle grenades
After reading Tony's lucky escape with his exploding ginger beer bottle it reminded me of a conversation I had the other day whilst talking to the guy who owns our local brew shop in Fareham. He had a young lad come in moaning about the sediment in his homebrew lager bottles - he said the small ones are ok to pour but the larger ones held 2 pints and as he poured pint number 2 he stirred up the sediment. Interested, the shop owner asked what bottles he had that held 2 pints to which the lad replied he was using wine bottles - and he left them on the floor of his garage close to where his 3 year old toddler had all his toys and liked playing! Jeez this lad has just invented a new way of playing Russian Roulette!

Jeeeeze .... having witnessed one of those bombs yesterday that is terrible!
I keep my clear beer bottles for cider and ginger beer. Love to know what the pressure was inside.
Poor little mites, they'll probably never know how lucky they were!
