We were really careful with the shards- luckily it appears that it all cracking into large pieces, but when we siphon it off into the carboy we'll probably leave some at the bottom of the fermenting bucket just to be safe.<br />Next year we'll DEFINITELY leave alot more head room in our jars!<br />:) I was pretty bummed about the 2 gallon jar cracking- its a pretty neat jar and it wasn't all that cheap. Just as you say- hindsight is 20 20. Live and learn is absolutely the motto we live by here!! :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931912146494340497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690609452025111218.post-65674095724118664552009-12-12T16:30:41.142-05:002009-12-12T16:30:41.142-05:00Live and learn, as they say. Water based liquids ...Live and learn, as they say. Water based liquids do expand A LOT as they freeze and frozen on the inside and very hot on the outside, "CRACK". Hope you filter that cider that you caught coming out of the cracked jars, in case there were glass slivers in it. Yikes! Get some gallon plastic containers for next year. Hind sight is always 20-20 :-)<br /><br />Really sorry you may lose some of that wonderful cider.CONEFLOWERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13547544109039910307noreply@blogger.com
