I wanted to post some boobies for my 100th but alas i must tell a tale of stupidity and sadness.
Bottled my Red Ale today and it couldn't have gone smoother. Siphon was almost Oxygen free and only had one or two chipped bottles in the batch i rescued from the recycling bin at the dump. Got my bottling bucket cleaned up and got my better bottle hosed out and ready to soak. Heated up some water in the kettle as i have done many times before to help loosen up the kreusen before filling the BB with water and OxyClean. Dumped in the heated water and DAMN! Melted my BB. BUMMER!! Was planning on moving my Choc Raz Stout to the BB for secondary tomorrow but i guess i'll just watch a little TV instead. The water wasn't boiling, wasn't really on the stove for all that long. Oh well, lesson learned. From now on i'll trust in the power of the OxyClean and have patience.
