I'm a beginner with 10 batches under my belt. Today i had my first disaster.
After brewing for a few hours..I went to lower my carboy into my swamp cooler and "CRASH"!!!!! I must not have been gentle enough while lowering and the whole thing shattered.
I'm pretty bummed out about losing the 5 gallons of wort and the carboy (which i'm borrowing so i owe my buddy a new one). But at least it broke in the swamp cooler which minimized my clean up.. still had to do a lot of mop up but it could have been worse if the whole thing dumped.
Just wanted to vent... thanks for listening...
