Well I really did it I just finished building my stir plate and was going to do my first starter on it so I measured out my DME added 2000ml to my 4000 ml Pyrex flask added a drop of de-foamer and my stir bar. I then put it on the electric stove top and commenced to boil. As the flask started to boil I looked a way for maybe 10 seconds and when I looked back the sucker was about to boil over. As I reached for a hot pad to pull it off the heat it really started to gush and then there was a sickening snap and 2000ml of boiling wort spilt all over the kitchen.
Crap now I guess it's back to using growlers for starters. And worse of all I can't use the growler on my new stir-plate
