Homebrew Tragedy! [with Pics]

[stretch69]

I've got a mate that years ago dropped a long neck from the top shelf of his fridge, he kinda tried to catch it but was too late, the thing exploded and a piece of glass severed a tendon thingy in his hand. He had to wear this weird thing with rubber bands on it for months til it healed, he hasn't brewed since.

The thing is it was completely his fault, he would have bottled it too early and most likely put too much sugar in the bottles too(he would have thought they'd have more alcohol by doing that haha), and to top that off HE dropped it , the funny thing is he's actually scared off homebrew now, well at least the bottles!

It's like losing a member of the family.......I to have recently gone through this tragedy......I tried to console myself by thinking there are plenty more out there....but it will never be the same.

< = less than. > = greater than.

You made the mathematician inside me smile just now.

I always thought <= was "less than or equal to"

 

[Not For Horses]

I always thought <= was "less than or equal to"

No "less than or equal to" would be ≤

No "less than or equal to" would be ≤

depends if you are a programmer or not.

I don't dabble in black arts if that is what you mean.

Plus, don't they only do that because of a lack of a symbol at the time?

20 litres of Pilsner. Previously stored in keg. Leaky beer out post. Took 7 weeks to make, I had a glass (tasted good!), then the next time i opened the keezer to find this lake of beer 3 inches deep and an empty keg.



Drinking the 750ml bottle of 12% dubbel immediately after taking this picture helped with shock.
It took me over an hour to clean it all up today. Looks like I'm brewing again this weekend lol.

Still, better than glass flying around....


Just scoop out from the bottom.

That is not good bradsbrew..... what happened??..I have the same gas stove for making starters..was it a bad flask???

 

[yum beer]

It is now.....

 

[bradsbrew]

I don't know what happened Dicko. I had it boiling away went to the beer room to keg a beer a few minutes later there was a huge bang, came outside and there was water and glass every where. As I said lucky the kids have been taught to stay away.

Those gas stoves create 4 hot spots from the arms, uneven heating in borosilicate + a bit of a breeze = "Bugger".
