my thought is if it was overprimed or not done fermenting, then why didnt the bottle top fly off? makes me thing the glass was compromised.
I typically use bottles around 3 times for my home brews. I've been brewing now for over 6 years and have only had a few bottles break.
From my experience when the bottle breaks at the bottom it is from a bad bottle. If you over carbed it then if a bottle breaks it will cause a chain reaction. That would hold true especially for high abv beers.
Hmmm, I've used the same bottles over and over at least 15 times with no issues.

pick one, cold crash it, try it, best way to be sure.
Cold crash?
My only question is how are you sanitizing your bottles? I ask because in your picture the label on the bottle looks like it never got wet.

I had a couple bottles I couldn't get the label off. This was one of them. We still soaked in sanitizer. I think these guys were the tail end.
Everyone is giving me good stuff here. ty! Worse comes to worse the batch is bad and we need to do again... Live and learn!
Is an infection viewable from the bottle?
They are in a container in the coolest part of the house. Is an infection viewable from the bottle?
When you primed for bottling, did you dissolve about 5 ounces of sugar in some boiling water? Or did you add the sugar to the pail without dissolving? The reason I ask is because if it was dissolved well into the entire batch of beer, you could get some bottles that had too much sugar in them and some that didn't have enough.
Ok... so i have a bottle that has been in the fridge since yesterday... We are going to open it to day to check and see the carb and ick factor! Wish us luck. It is tied up in a plastic bag just in case lol.
