Son of a mother****ing *****!@!!
I had just finished my steeping and extract addition, and was heating my wort up in preparation for the hop additions. I'd left my thermometer hanging on the side of the brewpot to keep it out of the way while adding the extract, and when I went to put it back in to check the temp, it ****ing exploded into my wort!

All kinds of glass and toxic chemicals went into it, and I can't see any way of saving this batch. *sigh* The LHBS opens up in half an hour; I guess I'll go over there and get another bucket of extract and more steeping grains. I just learned a $32 homebrewing lesson: DON'T LET YOUR GLASS THERMOMETER GET SUPERHEATED! What an idiot.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
EDIT: I forgot, my LHBS is closed on Mondays!![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
