....better the beer than my skin getting all cut up.
I was actually already in bed. This is a beer I racked last night around 10PM and pitched the yeast. All was going fine no fermentation activity of course and I went to bed. Got up at 6AM and there's a text from my downstairs neighbors that there's beer leaking into their kitchen..this is a room that used to be the stairs to the 1st floor of the house so it leaked down through the hole in the plywood and down their stairs. Could have been worse.
Time to clean up for an hour.
BTW, I always check carboys for hairline cracks before using them. This one was just fine. I racked at 80 degrees so it's not like the wort was too hot. It just failed for some reason.
