well i just did a stupid thang. while sparging i dropped a pot of 175-180* water and splashed my face. left side from my forehead to my cheek including my eyelid, fortunatly i was able to turn my head AND close my eye. basically i now have a 1-2nd degree burn over that area no blisters just very red(med tobad sunburn).

moral is be careful when handling hot pots and use a potholder!

Man! I hope you are OK! That sucks. Every time I lift my sparge water over my head I worry about that.

 

[cheezydemon]

Yikes, get something to put on it. If nothing else, aloe is good.

Try muck boots with a little 175*F water in them....... I learned real quick to have the pants go over the boots at the brewpub. You can learn a lot from a dummy!!!!! LOL. I + hot water catching muck boots = dummy

i was wearing socks once when brewing and i poured the sparge water all over my feet....it really sucked.

I've been using my welding gloves when moving hot pots around. Never even thought about my face, maybe I'll be using my face shield next time...

While carrying in 5 pounds of hops into my new apartment complex in vacuum bags, I got a few double takes and weird looks.
