I bottled my cider 5 days ago and put them in the dishwasher to pasteurize today. By the end of the cycle bottles (4 out of about 60) began to explode.
My theory is that the dishwasher got warm but not hot causing the yeast to become more active which caused more carbonation.
I figured id just put them all in the fridge so i wouldn't have to worry about pasteurizing. My problem now is that im worried these bottles are so carbonated that if I move them they will explode. If i leave them in the dishwasher they will eventually explode with more time.
Can i move these bottles from the dishwasher to the fridge or is it too dangerous?
