That’s alcohol abuse!
On a more serious note, you said the last few batches had a wet dog aroma. You should do a thorough cleaning of everything that touches the wort/beer after boiling. Replace anything with scratches. Replace anything plastic. Sounds like you have some kind of infection...
Ok. My last post on this thread. KopperKat is right, I’m not gonna change your mind. You’re not gonna change my mine.
I suffered a severe injury because of a broken carboy. I chimed in with my experience, hoping to prevent someone else from doing the same. But you do you. Good luck.
I don’t know how many fatalities there are, but I’m sure there are some. I don’t think someone will post about it here if it happens to them, so we may never know.
Who wants to be a grown up? Getting old is mandatory, growing up isn't.
Good luck in whatever hobby you do next. As others have said, stop by and say hi every once in a while.
I wish you the best of luck with that. I still have some of my glass carboys, but they're in the corner in the basement collecting dust. I will never use them again.
