6 months later I notice this

So I've moved, but I haven't parted ways with the old house yet. I've been doing work to prepare it for selling and I was in the basement where I used to do my fermenting. I (still) haven't got into very good temperature control yet and for the most part I ferment on the basement floor in the summer and on a chair in the winter. I used to be more lax about which carboys I'd use for the primary fermentation, and sometimes I'd even use a 5 gallon without a blow off tube.

I've been doing some work on the old house and I was in the basement recently when I noticed something. (Look at the ceiling)

The picture doesn't make it as obvious as being there in person did, but an observant person might notice the dirt on the cabinet door as well.

After I said to myself, "no way!" I took this picture:

Talk about "blowoff"!

You actually had a blowoff launch your bubbler into a nail? You need to start buying lottery tickets.

Nahh, His luck is already spent...shoulda bought the ticket 6 months ago:rockin:

That is an AWFULLY COOL PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that's crazy! You can't make this stuff up!

You're not going to try to salvage the airlock, right? haha

Renamed thread... "Is there mold growing on my beer?"

I like that you lost and airlock off of a fermentor and just carried on without finding it. That's an amazing shot.

That is epic. Great find!

That's the kind of crap that will me think I am losing my mind. Go in to check on it and not finding the airlock or stopper, knowing I put one in there....
