Making some apple soda with store bought juice and a ginger bug. Previous juices have needed 2 days to carb and that was supposed to be today. Yesterday, one self vented, so I burped all 3. Today, one exploded. Never expected it.

Is store bought apple juice different than other store bought juices? Is my ginger bug different than last time? Idk.

You are right, you did. And being a glasblower you certainly have more experience with glass than me.

But it still feels wrong, to me, that the stress built into a glass body changes over time. Damage, like you say, can of course introduce failure points.

I'm tired and I might have misunderstood you and perhaps we are saying the same thing or talking about completely different things
