I brewed a Bohemian Pilsener this weekend. I poured my yeast from the starter flask into the carboy, and saw the stir bar at the bottom of the flask. I had forgotten to use a keeper magnet, but I got lucky and the stir bar stayed in the flask.
I then put the flask in the sink and filled it with hot water (to keep the gunk from drying and hardening) until I had time to clean it properly.
At cleanup time, I picked up the flask filled with murky water and dumped it. Then filled it with PBW and shook it while holding my hand over the mouth. Then a couple rinses, then set it on my workbench to dry. Then I noticed the little container I keep my stir bar in, and it occurred to me that I had just dumped my stir bar down the drain.
Tell me I'm not alone. Tell me you've all gone through 2 or 3 stir bars in your brewing tenures. I need to feel like it was an easy and honest mistake.
