I was boiling my 1.5 L starter wort on the stove in an erlenmeyer flask the other night. After boiling I pulled the flask off the burner, tilted it towards me and dropped the stir bar in. When the stir bar hit the liquid it erupted like a volcano and sent boiling hot wort and foam into my face and chest. After spending the evening at the ER, I came away with face/chest blisters and a bottle of pain pills. Perhaps worst of all is that my fresh hop IPA batch will have to wait until next week.
I doubt I'm the first moron brewer to do this. The lesson is: don't stare down the barrel of your boiling starter flask.
