Well no it isn't but it sure saved cleaning it:cross:
My normal thing is to rack the beer off the mess rinse it out and fill it up with water to let is soak. I went to clean it this morning and found it complete destroyed. My only guess is that the ground water was at 50ish degrees the air temp was at 25 degrees when I did this and it dropped down to 16 last night. I think that it was a case of thermal shock with the temp difference of the water inside vs the air temp?
And no it did not freeze, I had the beer sitting in the keg next to the glass carboy and it did not get much below 40 degrees.
