Damn! At least it's not all over the floor... I'd be getting my auto siphon and a new container sanitized double time! Kudos for stopping to take a picture...
one of my friends and his old rodeo partner made an O2/Acetylene bomb with a construction grade trash bag. don't do that.
Assume you've bought all the ingredients for a brew, only to find on brew day that you didn't. Don't do that...
I just did that in preparation for brewing Biermuncher's Black Pearl Porter. Had everything, except it turns out that the Crystal 30L I thought I had turned out to be Crystal 60L.
I went with it, but the lesson is to double-check and be certain. I'm sure I'll learn that lesson someday.
Forget to shut off the water hose after cleaning everything up. Don't do that.
Made me laugh!!! Is that the meaning of your brewery name?
I'm failing to see the problem there....Fall asleep while boiling? .... don't do that
11 gallons of ESB becomes 5 of Barley wine

Wow, how are you ever going to choke down those 5 gallons of barleywine?
Brew, hit your numbers, save IC water for clean up, scrub, hose out all the equipment...Then leave the cooler sitting outside for 2 days because you wanted to make sure you 'put it somewhere out of the way to make sure it dries w/o being messed with' Don't do that.
I don't quite understand -- did you forget to wash the mash tun cooler then leave it in summer heat for a resulting horrible smell, or what exactly?
Man, I'm gettin' REALLY tired of posting to this thread...
GREAT BREW DAY: Didn't time myself but I bet I was close to personal best for time, but never felt I was rushing, just movin' and groovin'. BIAB efficiency was SUPERB, and the hops just smelled SO good today.
GREAT BREW DAY, RUINED: Realizing during the chill phase that you accidentally built your water with the iodized salt instead of the non-iodized.
Don't do that.
I'm ~4 hours and $32 into it, so I guess I'll finish cooling and pitch the Notty to see what happens. Is there any hope for it? Is 5.5 grams of iodized salt into a 6.5 gallon batch really the end of it?
Brewed a delicious Citra Session IPA @ 4.5% ABV
Drink twice as much because I can
Up to pee at least once a night.
Don't do that
