Carboy Bomb

[Owly055]

I just finished cleaning up after a train wreck............ How about a 5 gallon carboy completely full of finished kombucha exploding all over a carpeted floor......... It doesn't get much more dramatic than that!

An hour or so ago, a shelf I keep beer that has finished bottle conditioning on collapsed on top of a carboy filled with kombucha...... Imagine the explosion when 15 bottles of beer cascaded down on top of a full carboy?? It was every bit as dramatic as the picture in your mind!! ............ Well maybe not actually. These were EzCap flip top bottles, they fell about 4' onto the carboy, and not a single one broke.... The top popped loose on one of them dispensing about 12 ounces of it's contents into the mess..... A little bit of dunkle to add to the flavor and aroma of the mess.

I'm sure I haven't gotten all of the broken glass.........you never do, so I'll be picking slivers of glass out of my bare feet for years!!

.......... as they say "stuff happens".... Only "stuff" is usually spelled more creatively ;-(

Ouch! That sucks.

I broke one in my laundry room once. It was on a keg washer and tipped over. Now I put them into my laundry tub while I'm washing so the sides of the sink are there in case it tips.

Sorry for your loss. I raise a toast in honor of list beer.

Huge bummer.
One of my friend's dogs knocked his Carboy over spilling his cream of three crops last summer. The real puzzle was that by the time he got home, all the beer had been "cleaned up".

Somehow the dogs survived.
