Had a kaboom last night

[rbMPSH12]

Yeah, so IT happened when I put a beer in the freezer to get it cold quickly and forgot about it overnight. Nice surprise when I got up this morning . Gotcha! Now I know there are two things on everyone's mind. 1) "I'm glad you're ok!" 2) "Was it a reloaded beer bottle?" Actually, it was reloaded (my homebrew). But I don't think that had anything to do with it .

The bottle would have handled the expansion better if it was brass.

Bummer, that is a BAD kaboom. You should get help and training. Just so happens I can help!.........................................

Well 40(oz) bottles are more prone to kB because they don't have a fully supported cap...

Twas a 12 oz. bottle, and thankfully not 40 oz!!! That would have been REALLY bad. ALso the beer was very frozen so it wasn't too bad to clean up. Lesson learned.

At least you didn't claim that you were the only one qualified to handle a 40.

Did you have the proper crimp? Was it over charged?

Consult the Budweiser 49th reloading manual.

A "Boom Boom" you say???? Was there three of them and was it German beer?

We had several of those this winter. It was so cold that the beer (and pop) in the garage fridge froze.

Did you check other reloads from the same batch to see if "cap setback" was too extreme?

Glad my garage is heated...I lived in WI for a decade without a garage; when I built mine I said that's where the heater goes.

in before Kirk... keep your booger-hook off the bottle opener until your ready to drink.

 

[Glock10MM]

Good one. I'm glad no one was injured......

Clearly some leadership is required here. Some heavy lobbying by a beer safety advocacy group, maybe some congressional hearings, I can see it all now.... Someone in our fine political system (the best money can buy!) will form a 'Save Our Beer' [hereafter known as SOB) coalition and push through legislation requiring you to register any freezer in a household in which beer is kept. Now the SOBs don't want to regulate your freezers, but for everyone's safety the SOBs just want to know who has them. Those who prove themselves to be untrustworthy with frozen objects (drop the ice cream out of a cone, or allow the frozen broccoli to fall out on the floor when you open the door) may be required to get a permit to own a freezer. After all, if only one beer is saved....
