A perfect brew day, until..

i do AG on a stove top, and i had just finished boiling and cooling the wort, as i was transfering to my fermenter (a 5 gallon plastic bottle) when i turned around and snagged the siphon hose with my shoe and WHAM! the bottle comes crashing down on the floor, and the WHOLE thing ends up on my kitchen floor. Two hours later and several mop buckets later, i got all the stickiness up. Ive had it this was the push i needed, after i write this im heading to home depot and pick up a a turkey fryer.

oh crap! some things just arent rght !

Congratulations! Way to take advantage of the misfortune. It can only get better from here.

One way to force yourself to upgrade your equipment. Moving my brewing outside was a great move.

I broke a carboy and decided to upgrade too. I was brewing five gallon batches on the stove, and fermenting in glass carboys. After that incident, I built a three tier AG rig and started brewing 10 gallon batches. I also ferment in Sanke kegs.

So mishaps like that are a good thing. It sucks to have to go through the pain, but worth it in the end.

It will be a nice upgrade, but you can still have accidents with them. Hopefully they will be outside though!

As if cleaning a sticky spill isn't bad enough - it had to be fresh wort. RIP future beer. Long live the turkey fryer!
