Hope you have a quick recovery buddy!
 
Those are some gnarly burns!
Too bad Left Hand Brewery is already taken. Get well!

Working around boiling water is always a serious danger. About two years ago, I had the outflow tube on my immersion chiller kink and pop off shortly after starting the flow of water. It sprayed on my thigh and waist (inches away from being a LOT worse, fellow men). Compared to your accident, I got off VERY lightly, but I still have some scars to show for it.
Learning safety the hard way is never fun. I'm glad you posted about your accident, it might help some fellow brewers think harder about keeping their brew areas safer.
 
Man your making me cringe just thinking about it! Thanks for posting the warning. Its something we should all keep in mind.
Get well soon!!

¿Te huele a quemado? lager - Do you smell something burning? Lager
lager sola puño - Single Fist Lager

Get better soon!
 
The worst part is, all that suffering over a stinking Mexican Lager! We don't need no stinking Mexican lagers! ;)

Hope you heal up quick and can get back to brewing some (ahem) ales. :D
 
Yikes! That is right up there in the "worst brewing injury" category for sure. Hope your recovery goes well.

And, in the spirit of making light of horrible injuries......

"I don't always burn myself while brewing..... but, when I do, I burn an entire limb."
-Stay out of boiling wort my friend.
 
Yeesh that looks awful! Glad it wasn't worse! Burns are absolutely horrid.

As for the name... Piso mojado, and you can integrate a wet floor sign into the label (if that's something you do)
 
Damn, that is brutal. All I can say is get better.
My nonslips from working in a restaurant are trashed, and I've been putting off getting a new pair. I slip once or twice every brew day, but luckily never near the kettle. This just seals the deal. Ordering a new pair before my next brew.
 
Beer: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

That looks horrible man. Definitely a cautionary tale for us all. Hope the healing goes quickly.

On the plus side, with a story like this you could open a brewery with a bang.
 
Piso mojado,


Piso mojado - love it! When I was in school in the early 90s, some dudes I knew used to greet each other with some kind of ritualistic-looking secret handshake and say "Piso mojado, brother" and "Piso mojado to you as well." There were always dummies around who would see that and be all "ooh, you're so spiritual! Tell me more!"
