Does anyone else hate it when this happens?

Yeah, that blows.

I try to remember to out mine in line with the handle when it is being carried. Doesn't always work.

 

[Homercidal]

Remove airlock.

Flip handle.

Replace airlock.

Once i dropped pellet hops through that little opening to dry hop instead of taking the lid off.

Its quite laughable.

it took a while.

Sorry, off topic!

Yep, it's as simple as that but it's still a pain in the bum

I bet you won't do it again though!

I bet you won't do it again though!

And I bet they will lol. Done it half a dozen times or more myself.

 

[Kirkwooder]

I've never had that problem with a carboy! lol

EVERY DAMN TIME

But it's not as bad as many other goofs you can do while brewing, so it's ok

 

[Temptd2]

LOL! Well, obviously, you guys need some FEMALE supervision/help while you brew because I've never made that mistake!

But have had my share of others....

 

[levtbeas]

I'm almost entirely convinced that even if you flip it, it still won't work...only because I'm pretty sure this has happened to me every single time, and the law of averages says it shouldn't. I suppose Murphy's law trumps that one though

Possibly - I know that generally in life I do need female supervision otherwise I end up subsisting on nothing but beer and cigarettes, staying up all night watching cartoons and wearing the same underpants for three days running. It's not pretty.

But I'm fairly sure that brewing skill can't be measured by the number of penises you have (and most beer lovers of either gender have boobs so that can't be it either) so I'm with levtbeas here:

I don't think it has anything to do with brewing skill OR number of penii - I think it has more to do with the female skill of seeing things that aren't moving and realizing when it requires attention.

My personal observation is - men, hunters. Women, gatherers. Equates to - it if ain't movin' - men don't see it!

Not at all. We don't have dainty little daisy's drying our dishes.

That could well be true. My SO tested me to see how long I would notice there wasn't a hand towel hanging in the bathroom. After six weeks she gave up, because clearly I was never going to notice. Often, clothes go days on the drying rack without being put away. It's not because I'm lazy, it's because in my lizard brain, unless I need them now or I can eat them or they're moving, THEY DON'T EXIST. I am not sure if it's just me or a gender difference.

 

[Temptd2]

My observation (having been married more than once and also having plenty of occasions to observe multiple males) - it's definitely a gender difference. That's a wide generalization, of course, but it does seem to have some merit.

I use this as a sign that I've had enough beer while brewing...

Well, that's not so bad, because at the point you grab the bucket by the handle all that is left of the brew day is to stick it in the fermentation chamber. Then you can have a celebratory post-brew beer
