I've been brewing since 2004, so I have had my share of accidents. Today, I experienced something new. I chill my wort with a pump running ice cold water from my cooler through a wort chiller coil and back into the cooler. Today right as I started it, I dropped the chord and walked around to the other side of the cooler. At that second a bubble must have come through or something because the hose shot out of the cooler and sprayed my whole right chest and arm with scalding water. Everywhere it touched in bright red and painful while the spot the water hit (just below my right nipple) is blistered. It hurts something awful. I'm trying to finish the batch before I get it taken care of. Of course, though I'm scalded, I'm trying to finish the batch and posting about it on HBT, so I guess this might go in the "You might be a homebrewer..." thread. I'm not risking this batch to get a bit of cream. "Grit teeth and keep working."
