did you add this stuff when it was done fermenting or while it was still fermenting? It will not stop a fermentation in progress!

my only explosion was a case of stout that I bottled during a stuck fermentation, some 10 years ago almost.
it too was stored in my bedroom closet. thankfully I was in the room when it happened and got the case into the bathtub quickly.

iwas in the house as well and heard it and was able to clean it up quickly, thankful it was apple and not a red and my wife was out of town.
