Hello fellow homebrewers!
So I had my first homebrewing accident so to speak. I dropped my bottle tree when it was holding about 45 or so bottles. Miraculously, only two bottles broke (and one of the bottles that broke only had a damaged opening).
I cleaned it up and it wasn't a big deal, but now I'm worried that some of the bottles that survived the fall may have microcracks in them that may not be a problem until I put a carbonated beverage in them.
Is my worrying justified? Has anyone had bottle bombs happen from using bottles that they dropped but thought were ok?
