So I thought it would be fun to create a thread to share bloopers or blunders we've experienced.
I'll start:
Happened to me today; I was doing some secondary rackings and had poured some sanitizing solution into the receiving carboy. Well then the phone rang, so I answered it, etc...... Well, when I got done with that I got back to my mead. Washed my hands, and got right back to racking. Racked about ~2 gallons(out of a 5 gallon batch) right onto about 1/2 gallon of sanitizing solution. Imma friggin genius!
A couple of years ago I was making a pomegranate melomel, when the bottom of my primary brew bucket cracked. Come to find out there was a defect from the manufacturer. I leaked about 1/2-3/4 gallon of this blood red sticky mess which defies physics and ends up in rooms no where near the scene of the crime.
