It depends on a lot of factors, so it's impossible to predict when bottles
might explode, if they're going to. Temperature and wild yeast/bacterial
infections can play a part.

It's a far better policy to prevent bottle bombs in the first place. Make
sure your processes are clean (sanitize, sanitize, sanitize) and be certain
fermentation is complete before bottling (get a hydrometer and use it).

Happy brewing,
