Use plastic bottles until you get the hang of it, Glass will explode.
Use correct amount of priming sugar, to much can cause a fizzy mess.
I may be wrong but to much priming sugar may of caused some of my bottles to explode
. Good thing i was storing them in a plastic container.

Yup, saw the picture on the other thread. You did the right thing by putting them in the plastic container. That surely reduced your cleaning time.

Yea, I too liked your conditioning/carbing box. Very good idea!

I think I remember someone here suggesting one bottle in every batch should be plastic. When it gets hard, they're carbed, if it swells, they're overcarbed.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
