[Mills]

Keep em cold and that will help.

I bottled a batch of tripple to 3.5 vol last night, same as I have before and dont expect any troubles. I didnt use special bottles. I am planning on entering this beer in a comp so is there something in the shipping process (all the shaking and jolting?) that might encourage them to go bang?

That could make things interesting

I have shipped highly carbonated entries across state and been just fine, even with warm temps and jostling of the cargo. Like Mills said, just try to keep the bottles cold as long as you can. You will be fine.

never had a problem with regular brown bottles and using up to 1.5oz corn sugar per gallon. i don't think id go over that though.
