Talk about a bad brew day!

Today I was supposed to make my first Lager, Temp control for christmas, I'm good to go. Kids off to school I am Psyched. I had a Oktoberfest starter that I stepped up for 5 days, and 3 pounds into the crush my barley crusher broke, snapped the end off, now the roller moves around and the thing is useless. I was thinking rolling pin but for 10 LBS of malt, no way. My only hope is that my starter is not lost, It was 2 vials of WL Oktoberfest 820. I can bag up the grain and have my LHBS mill it for me on wednesday, but not sure about the starter. 1 year old barley crusher. I am not happy right now, If I was a girl I would probably cry!!!!

Sounds like another one of those time where you just have to shove it back in and keep going.
