There are two types of brewers who use carboys - those who have broken one, and those who will.....
I became one of the former tonight.
5 gallon carboy of local unpasteurized cider - pouring into a 6.5 gallon carboy for primary fermentation. Slip, oops, ah crap.
Casualties:
The carboy
4.5 gallons of cider.
The cleanliness of my workshop floor.
Could have been much worse - couple small cuts on each middle finger, but no permanent damage.
Live and learn. Not going to give up glass, but am going to be much more careful in the future. Perhaps time to invest in some brew haulers.
