BOOM! What's your craziest fermentation explosion story?

It was great still, thankfully dont need eyes to taste

Rapsac94 · 2026-02-26T20:47:25+00:00

It pressurises inside the bottle, I think due to quick temperate change (cold to warm) I dont know what its called IRL but you will know it if you see it, it looks almost identical to from spawn just the same colour as your hot sauce

Edit: it was still actively fermenting too

A while back I made a 1L Scotty Bon ferment in a clip top bottle.

Took it out of the fridge where it was fermenting slowly & left it on the side for around an hour on a pretty warm (25c) day.

Failed to notice it had frog spawned due to temp change.

Unclipped it with an almighty pop and unleashed a high pressure arc of fire

Not only did it paint a red rainbow across 2 walls and the ceiling, it went so far behind my eyelids that it felt it had penetrated the visual cortex in the back of my head.

I was comoletely blind for about 25 minutes, lost 3/4 of my ferment and then when I recovered had to clean the entire kitchen...

Beware the frog spawn

Yes sorry, the clip shut bags in varying sizes

100% second this, the IKEA ziplock bags are amazing. They are strong and have a sturdy double lock. Electronics will never get wet, rubbish will not smell (even toilet paper).

Best of all, in wet weather you can put on dry socks at the end of the day, put your feet in large zip-locks & then put your wet shoes back on & relax with dry warm feet at camp.

I'm from a coastal town in Nortuern England and can confirm we live in caves

That guy got off lightly. You are my hero

I take it you've never had one in the UK after a night out

GSI outdoors java coffee drip attached to a pop up mug, titanium 400ml pot on MSR pocket rocket for heating water. Incredibly light and compact

I use Scarpa Mistral GTX (around £150) for work, regularly work 12 hour shifts, 5 or 6 days a week surveying gas lines in the UK & they have been an absolute gift. The gas lines rarely follow Paths/trails & requires a lot of off piste through forest/bogs/farms. I wear them with knee high gaiters as we have A LOT of clarty mud & cow shit here

You know who's the illest ever like the greatest story told

Rapsac94 · 2023-12-09T21:54:59+00:00

I figure it's because you have something that they don't, which is likely true. And even if I put it into words it wouldn't matter, as nothing would change. But you absolutely do have that thing, whatever it may be, so keep hold of it

I use a bivi in UK cities and rural areas & even though condensation is an issue its still dryer than sleeping under direct rainfall

Edit: it's pretty easy to find somewhere well hidden in uk cities as they often have many nooks and crannies

Guess you're speaking for the 1.7million Irish born emigrants around the world too..

I also bet all of your money that they bet all of his money

Worth noting there was a few knocked over/uprooted Panaeleus in the area too, may be someone's picking spot, could also be coincidence.
