That sucks! About 3 years ago my Dad passed away and left me his house and several glass carboys. (He made lots of wine and some beer too.) It was winter time and I was renovating the house and while I was ripping out all the carpet I moved 4 carboys out into the garage. My Dad used to store his carboys with a sodioum metabisulfite solution in them when not in use to prevent any mold or anything from growing in them. Well of course I forgot about them for a couple days and when I went back into the garage 3 of them had exploded leaving LOTS of glass shards all over the garage. One was still intact and being the brilliant guy I am I decided I better get it inside before it broke too. I geuss I'm pretty lucky it didn't blow up while I was carrying it in.
