We have all had our misadventures in brewing, but I thought you all may appreciate what I woke up to this morning. My girl friend and I had just brewed up a fresh batch of oatmeal stout Sunday afternoon. All went well with the brew and it was sitting in primary happily fermenting away in our fermentation chamber(read: storage closet). Early Monday morning when she got up for work she checked on the new brew and found the airlock clogged and the whole thing ready to explode. Not having time to worry about it and not wanting to clean up after another fermenting explosion she quickly moved the beer bomb to the shower. By the time I woke up, it had finally blown. While cleaning everything up hoping to save the beer I found her bottle of body wash had fallen into the wort.
I'm going to see this through to bottling out of a strange curiosity, but I am not terribly optimistic about this batch.
I'm interested to hear other "misadventure" stories.
