Oh THE HUMANITY

[Moose777]

So I brewed an all grain batch today... Copper ale from Midwest Brewing.

Everything went great and i had a yeast starter all ready to go as well.
I mash and sparge, finsh my boil, connect my IC and turn on the hose. I always like to water the plants with the water from the IC so I start to do this and then it happened...tugged a bit too hard on the hose and kerplunk, brewpot topples over and ...wort goes down the drain.

Ohh the humanity.

So what did I do? Brewed up another batch .

Um, yeah. Brew more.

Are there any other options here?

I would like any floor that had beer on it :cross:

Your brew and yourself are in my thoughts

 

[Moose777]

I had one tippping over trying to 'water' the lawn with the water from the hose when I noticed my tripod of a burner with ~5 gal of cooling wort was on two legs but I was very lucky and noticed before going all the way over.

It almost makes me consider bolting the legs down to a piece of plywood but open flames and liquid prob not a good idea.

That sucks, big time.

Go on YouTube and look at videos of puppies. Helps me in times like these.

Good for you!!! You get right back on that bike!

I had a similar situation a few months ago where I lost a fair bit of my first runnings on the floor of the garage while I was leaning over the fence talking to the neighbour. I stood there and cried as I peered down at my puddle, but then thought, hey, we'll make a lite IPA. Then was born my "Garage Floor IPA". It's been my favourite so far.

I am sorry. So, so sorry.

If there is a beer god, it is well cared for this eve.

+1 for the thread title.

A thought: I have two 10 gallon coolers I use during the brew. I fill these with the water out of my IC then water the plants so that I don't have to pull on anything. I am very sorry to hear about your loss, I hope the second batch was even better than the first.
