Homebrew
A couple of years back I got into homebrewing from beer kits. The first batch I made in the winter was perfectly palatable and got me pissed so I put on a batch of lager sometime around the middle of February. After it had brewed in the barrel I decanted it into bottles and left them in the airing cupboard for a few more weeks before they would be ready.

One mid-March morning I was woken by a muffled thump. I couldn't immediately identify the source of the noise and was just drifting back off to sleep when I heard it again. It sounded like some kind of explosion and it had come from the airing cupboard. After a couple of neural connections in my brain did their thing I jumped out of bed to find beer and broken glass all over the inside of the airing cupboard and the other bottles sitting there looking innocent.

Seems the change to warmer weather had a bad effect on my homebrew, making it increasingly volatile to the point that the bottles could no longer contain its potency, so I got some thick suede garden gloves and leather clothing and started gingerly moving it from the airing cupboard to the fridge, in the hopes that cooling it down would stop it from spontaneously exploding.

No such luck, as one bottle went off in the fridge, smashing the plastic shelf for the milk, and I was ordered by the missus to take the rest of the homebrew out to the shed. That weekend I had some friends over and we basically had to sit in the garden and drink the beer before it exploded and killed us.
