Tap left open on the fermenter

[law-of-ohms]

yep, all the time and usually into my shoe.

 

[soundawake]

Was filling up my fermenter just yesterday in the laundry sink with hot water and sodium perc and was wondering why it was taking so god damn long to fill up. Yep, tap was open

 

[Rubix]

Only the once for me. That was enough..

 

[hellbent]

fermentor twice and both times with a 10ltr brew, didn't leave much to bottle later... :angry:

 

[slcmorro]

Guilty

You are not a brewer until you have left the tap open

Mustn't be a brewer then

 

[of mice and gods]

Mustn't be a brewer then

Do this all the time
Wort only done once

 

[nu_brew]

It's always when cleaning. Once on an upholstered kitchen chair.

 

[Dips Me Lid]

Done it twice while completely blind, beers didn't turn out great either.

 

[damoninja]

Never wort, I run sanitiser through the tap and turn it off before tipping the rest out the top.

Occasionally I'll have the tap open without realising and some sanitiser comes out while I'm shaking it around, but only a little bit makes it out.

 

[law-of-ohms]

Again last night while cleaning, there go's all my percarb

 

[philmud]

Everytime I see this thread, I get chills and panick about whether I turned my tap off

 

[wbosher]

Sounds like we all need spring loaded taps that turn off once you let them go. :lol:

I've done it with fermenter taps a few times with only minor losses.
Last brew I am filling mash tun and can here trickling water, WTF, tap open, only water so all good.

Must admit, I've either done this or forgot to put the thermometer in (it's removable)

 

[Rocker1986]

I've done it twice but both times probably only lost a litre if that so not massive losses. Just a pain in the arse the extra work cleaning it up

According to another forum that we can't name, fermentor is the vessel, fermenter is the person doing the fermenting. However it was pointed out that Fermentor could sound a bit too much like a Manga Robot God.

 

[damoninja]

Google says

Did you mean: fermenter

But I'd tend to agree with you

 

[daveHQ]

I've left the tap on the fermenter open about the same amount of times that I've dropped glass hydrometers... Waaaay to many times!!

What about FV then...also on another forum whose name shall not be mentioned...
