I was brewing my third extract batch on my electric stove the day before we left for the beach on vacation. As with any day before a trip, the wife and I were hustling to get everything packed. I had just bottled so I had an empty fermenter, and managed to convince my wife that I NEEDED to brew so it could ferment while we were out of town, and I promised I could get everything packed and still brew.
Well, I was running short on time and the %#@^ing stove was taking forever, so I covered it after adding my extract powder. I was in the kitchen anyway so I figured I could uncover it after a few minutes. It turns out that this batch of wort was a sonuvabitch, so, unsurprisingly, it boiled over. Nasty smell and it took a while but I got it cleaned up.
After cleaning it I thought my pot had chilled a bit too much, so the obvious thing to do is to cover it again.
You guys will never guess what happened...the same damn thing! Two boilovers in one batch was not what I had in mind.
