My three biggest screwups over the years:
3. Dumped a bunch of PBW solution into my tray full of Star*San solution without thinking, and continued to use the solution to "sanitize" all my racking and kegging equipment. (Not sure what the pH would have balanced out to, but I bet it wasn't as low as it should be for sanitizing!)
2. Jammed a sticky gum-rubber stopper and S-type airlock onto my Better Bottle for primary on a rye beer. At 3 AM I was awakened to a BOOM! as the stopper went flying. The stopper and clogged airlock was found several feet down the hallway. Little bits of krauesen/trub remain all over the closet ceiling and walls to this day.
1. Tried to drill new holes for the hinges on my first chest freezer conversion. 5 of 6 holes went smoothly. The 6th hit a freon line. SWMBO says she'd never been so scared--I am normally very calm under pressure but I completely lost it and went on a rampage, cursing and punching the freezer until I almost broke my hand.
