So, today after three weeks in the primary, I transfer my Surly Bitter clone to secondary in my glass carboy. Measured the gravity and tasted it. It was quite good! Carry the carboy down to the basement and set it on some boxes full of bottles to keep it off the floor. Figure I'll finish cleaning up and then come down and rearrange things.
Finish cleaning up and sit down on HBT for a little while. Heard a crash that sounded like it came from the laundry room but when I go in there... nothing.
I figure while I'm up I'll bring the rest of the equipment down stairs. I get down there and look over to my carboy........ it's not there! What I thought was two full boxes it turns out was one full box and one empty box. The carboy crashed to the floor and all my beautiful beer went either down floor drain or into the sump well.
I'll be ordering another Bitter kit here soon, suppose I need to throw and fermenter on there also. Better make it a Better Bottle.
