Opening a case of homebrew apple cider “Bottle Bombs”

I made a batch of homebrew apple cider. While the batch was aging in storage, one of the bottles exploded taking a couple other bottles with it. I decided to abandon the entire batch and open all the bottles. I’m glad I did, as each one was a potential bottle bomb. One bottle (not captured on video) did explode in my face, but the paintball mask saved me from more than a small scratch… man am I’m glad I wore it!
