So I am on my third batch and was really excited about my new gear and recipe. I bought a 50' wort chiller and a stir plate as new toys for this batch. My recipe was for an imperial ipa. Everything went great in brew night. I mean perfectly. Then yesterday came. While shopping for groceries I get a call from a frantic wife that the downstairs is flooded! I get home to find that I left the chiller hose connected to the outside spigot and still leading into the kitchen window. My daughter thought since yesterday was such a beautiful day in Cali that she wanted to play in the water. Well.....my pergo floors are now warped.
Got the floors dried up after pulling some boards from the floor cuz it was puddling under the pergo and trapped by the vapor barrier. Then woke up this morning with the house reeking of beer. The damned blow off the guys at my LHBS sold me was a fit over the airlock type. Too small! Got clogged and blew the entire bung out spraying my bathroom with wort! Damn. Now I have to clean and paint the bathroom.
Good news though. I'm still obsessed with the hobby and scored a running 22cf side by side on cl for free! May need to convert it to a chamber fast so I don't ruin another paint job.
