appreciate all the suggestions and ideas and concerns. You guys are all a big help. Thanks for welcoming this noob with the broken glass ipa haha im stealing that idea!

hahahahah BROKEN GLASS IPA haha not coming to a pub near you. thanks man.

yea 50 aint bad esp to what can happen. even if i dont end up botteling and drinking i at least want to finish the fermentation process.

that sounds brilliant. thank you.

haha. man ER here is ridiculous.

good idea! i feel like such an idiot. taking my time in future and not waiting so long in the night to brew. i feel like dang all that time wasted. i will not serve to anyone else obviously.

Yea very true. still on the fence. From what I could tell the portion of the hydrometer that was broken was accounted for in the bucket and the smaller piece was caught by the strainer. Now did i get it 100% out i guess i couldnt be sure but im confident I did. maybe i will just finish the...

yea i guess would depend on how well i know the person and what type of person he or she is haha.

i hear you. I guess if i live to tell about it I can come back on give someone a "well i survived" type story if this comes up again lol. Just glad we had that strainer device handy. literally do not think carpet mites could fit thru it.

I was worried about infection a bit more then the glass (does not sound reasonable i know) . The only reason i felt a little ok about the glass is the device we used to strain it. These holes the glass would have to travel thru are miniature. The main glass piece was still in the kettle. a few...
