So today I brewed what was to be my last extract beer (got some new equipment for Christmas to go all grain). Anyway one of the new pieces of equipment was a wort chiller. I decided to use it today on my last extract batch. After the wort finished boiling, I was going outside to chill it (needed to hook up the chiller to my hose). Got out on the front porch and started down the stairs. Needless to say I slipped on the first step and poured BOILING hot wort all over myself. It was not a fun experience at all. I still have ice on my arm and it's KILLING me. Luckily, no blistering so I think the burn could have been worse. As soon as this happened, my first thought was "I have to post this on HBT". There I was in total pain, before I even ice my arm, shoulder and head (yes, head) and I'm thinking to myself how I need to post about this. Anyway, moral of the story is be careful with hot wort....it hurts to get burned!
