It was about 1:30 this morning when I finished cleaning and labling the bottles of mead I corked yesterday. While putting them away I noticed the top of one of the case which had been laid down about a month ago looked odd.
I uprighted this case and opened the top to have a cork pop out of one of the bottles, just missing my eye. Grabbing that bottle with my thumb over the top I dashed for the sink. Grabbed a corkscrew and that case of mead went out back and started pulling corks, in all 3 out of 8 bottles had enough pressure they where pushing the corks out.
I drank 2 bottles of sparkling mead while pushing corks back into the bottles. This morning the corks have come out of all the bottles.
Guess I'm going to let it go flat then make vinegar with it.
