I went to the LHBS today, got some liquid wheat extract from their tanks. It had white splotches in it, but I didn't think too much of it.
Went to check out, the dude says "oh we'll have to discount that for you, looks like it's starting to ferment. You brewing soon"? I said yah, and he said "oh, don't keep these containers air tight." as he went to unscrew one, it foamed out and went everywhere. I said "uhhh I'm not brewing til next weekend, is that not soon enough?" He said no way, you better switch to dry... so I did.
I asked him what happened and he said air must have gotten in the tank, and they'll have to switch it out...
Glad it happened at the checkout stand instead of 1 week later when I went to brew!
