Bad:
Spilled probably 3~4 cups of wort on the floor while transfering from kettle to primary . I stepped away for just one second to yell at the dog and the hose came out of the funnel at full flow and shot all over the place.
As result I had to replace the wated wort with water and my OG measured 1.050 instead of the projected 1.056.
last night I oven sterelized the bottles and the paper/adhesive gave off HORRIBLE odors, luckily it was cool enough out that I could open the windows last night. (Lesson learned, you really DO have to take the labels off!)
Good:
I got my first batch bottled, my second batch brewed, and I reused my yeast from the first batch to save money. The great news is started bubbling within an hour or two!
