This past weekend on National Homebrew Day, I was doing a back-to-back partial mash brews. I did two clone kits from AHS, the Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout and the Franziskaner Dunkelweisse. I did the dunkel first.
Anyway, I have* a brand new 6.5 gallon glass carboy with 5 gallons of Starsan solution in it. I decided it was a good time to pour the Starsan into one of my plastic buckets after the mash was done. I lifted the carboy off the counter and the bottom of it was wet and slipped out of my hands. It crashed into the kitchen floor shattering glass everywhere and spilling starsan all over the tile.
You guys are not kidding when you say these things can be dangerous. Luckily, I only got a couple of minor cuts on my fingers, but it was a huge mess to clean up. At least the kitchen tile got sanitized.
But needless to say, after I cleaned the mess up I pressed on with brew day and used the other 6.5 gallon carboy I had for the dunkel and my 6.5 plastic bucket for the stout. I'll have to pick up another carboy when the funds are available.
