Wow, washing out my secondary carboy and Boom.
Glass everywhere! Luckily, I was holding it only a few inches off the ground when it happened and none of it hit me.

Time to switch to plastic carboys.

You're mad concrete broke some glass? sold surfaces and carboys don't mix. stick with glass and use a mat or some scrap wood.

Tell that to my finger. Same thing happened to me that happened to the OP. only I wasn't as lucky. Had to have surgery to repair my tendon and nerve. Still cant move the tip of my finger Just one of those freak accidents. I've switched to better bottles.

Yup, I don't trust myself to use glass. My Better Bottles are much more forgiving to my slightly inebriated state.

I had a glass carboy that came with my kit. When I wanted to get some more carboys, I bought a Better Bottle because of the price savings. I have since purchased more Better Bottles, but chose to give my glass carboy because of some posts like yours. By the way, I also purchased a Brew Hauler for each carboy. I love these as it makes it much easier to move the carboys, and the Better Bottles are so much lighter and more forgiving than glass. Mark
