So I wake up, do my morning routine, and head to the basement to check my fermenters and swap out a couple ice packs in the water bath. I'm kneeling down, tranced by airlock activity when I hear a *drip* from the other side of the basement.
Knowing that nothing on that side should ever drip, I flipped on the lights to a rather large puddle in the middle of the floor (less than a foot from my data rack no less!). I look up, and give a tought to what on that side of the house would cause a leak and suddenly realized exactly what was going on.
I ran upstairs, into the corner of the living room where I've been squatting with my brewing supplies until I get my section of the basement finished and yep... there's the bucket of StarSan, slowly leaking out of the valve I never closed all the way the night before...
The entire living room was a puddle, save for the area rug which was now an over-sized sponge. I cleaned it all up right-quick and tossed the de-humidifier in the room to try and get as much moisture out of the hardwoods as I could.
Thank God that we re-finished our floors with Poly last year.
Especially thanking God that SWMBO barely even reacted to my room-clearing mess! I dont think she was awake enough to rage.. heh.
