Aright, I have had enough, seems as if every time I start brewing or transferring something, something has to break. I have broken more racking canes, thermometers, and hydrometers right before I need them. I was just trying to put a hose on my racking can and it snapped right at the neck of the bend. So my question to all is what have you broken at the most inappropriate time.

Well, if he beat you to it you didn't really need the condom...hmmm...

Never broke a racking cane though. Last piece of brewing equipment I broke was an airlock...small brush...even smaller hole...push, twist...CRACK!!...Oh, shiite!!...toss...

Although I haven't broken anything, I did order a second Hydrometer "just-in-case".

last week broke my first racking cane
have broken 2 glass carboys so far.
the first two i didn't realize the glass couldn't take temperature extremes like pyrex so i tried to cool the carboy of wort in a snowbank. nice crack around the bottom when i picked it up - luckily was able to pour the beer into a plastic bucket.
didn't learn it was the temp from the first one so on cleaning another one i used hot water and while shaking it had the bottom blow out.
i finally learned to use cool water

1 hydrometer and two auto siphon inner canes in 3 years isn't too bad. I can live with it.

I've busted a few airlocks. They get brittle after 5-6 years.
