I remember a few years back I tried using a blowoff tube after I had a wild Krausen pop my airlock off. I used half inch tubing connected to the airlock and tightly inserted the bung with tubing into a 1 litre jug. I woke up eexcited the next day and went in to see how it was doing and you guessed it... like a murder scene. Beer dripping from the ceiling and down the walls. Probably a gallon or more. I spent the next few hours cleaning religiously. Didn't get a pic. After that I used tin foil over the mouth of the carboy until the Krausen passed.
Another time more recently I had a hoist with some what I thought was strong enough rope to lift my bag in basket out of the kettle. You guessed it. She let go and hot wort splashed all over the walls my face and even a little on the ceiling. I was devastated but commenced replacing the broken rope with cable and once again clean the walls.
Anyone else want to share their Mishaps blunders and accidents?
