Ever have a batch where you break everything? Last night wasn't very fun but I did end up with 5 gallons of fermentable beer...so that is nice.
I broke the rigged up bulk head out of my cooler. The mini-keg bung warped the plastic on the cooler and now won't snap into place.
My siphon starter snapped in half when I was shaking iodophor solution off of it.
My input line to my chiller came off mid chill and sprayed water all over the garage. (Not to mention that immersion chillers suck in the summer, even with a pre-chiller.)
The 3oz of whole hops stopped up my siphon over and over....
I will not be brewing again until I impove my setup. I need to convert my chiller to a counterflow, get a real bulkhead and ball valve, put a tap in the bottom of my kettle and get a hop screen.
I always wondered why people fussed over their equipment so much, and now on my 8th batch I am realizing how nice it would be to impove it!
