Warning: Do Not Brew Without Shoes

[Logan]

Especially if you leave wet bottles in a cardboard 6-pack carrier and then try to pick it up...

Stitches and tetanus shots advised

 

[bluedragoon85]

Auch! Damn that sounds like a straight up recipe for disaster. Hope all is well.

 

[BuffaloSabresBrewer]

ooooooooooooooooooooouch

 

[Nurmey]

Good grief man, don't do that again!
Sorry to hear about your accident and hope you're up and running again soon.

 

[RichBrewer]

Sorry to hear that. I hope you are OK!

Only HBTrs will take photos in the middle of a medical emergency!

 

[oguss0311]

You kept brewing though, right?
(lol)

 

[Brewin_Bob]

It's just a little blood. It's still good, it's still good.

Just kidding.

 

[Cookiebaggs]

Wow! That sucks.

I guess my habit of wearing steel toes isn't such a bad idea.

Finished bottling, then brewed two batches.

(It was my brother not me lucky for me )

 

[hopsalot]

same thing happened to me only I dropped a wet 6.5 gal carboy on my feet, live an learn

 

[homebrewer_99]

Sorry to hear about your injury, but at least it wasn't hot wort...

 

[adx]

I almost splashed 175F sparge water on my bare feet once.

I see pictures of people on this web brewing in shorts and sandals which is crazy! It only takes 1 time to get a very serious injury. I worked for 35+ years as a machinist toolmaker and still have all my fingers. Some who worked with me do not. I never took chances with my safety.

Yeah but you don't drink homebrew in your bare feet whilst doing it do you?

 

[EvilTOJ]

I am always going to have a scar on my knee from when a boiling hot keggle touched it as I was trying to lift it off a burner. I was wearing shorts. Pain for days!

 

[Ed_Savage]

I had a boil-over wearing flipflops once.

It sucks getting burning hot sticky wort between your toes.

 

[kevinito78610]

I bet acouple of beers would make that feel much better!

 

[2nd Street Brewery]

I was drilling out my keggle in sandles last summer and had a hot SS shaving drop into them. That scarred up nicely

[Silviakitty]

gah...I usually brew barefoot and in a tank top and shorts. That ends now, after these horror stories.

 

[c.n.budz]

I brew in shorts all the time during the summer, but never without shoes. Dude that sucks, but it could have been much worse so I guess a valuable lesson was learned for a relatively cheap price...

 

[idkid]

Sorry about the injuries. Thats some serious wounds in the name of brewing. On a lighter note, I couldn't help noticing the IU avatar and that you're from Bloomington. Its now making more sense why someone would brew without shoes. ha ha. (Sorry, it was too easy!)

Go BOILERS!!

 

[Logan]

Well the problem is I lost my first shoe back during football season when we put it up your team's ass. And wouldn't you know it I havn't seen my second one since the IU-Purdue basketball game a few weeks back...

Ummm...go Vanderbilt? Hehe.

I brewed yesterday and the first thing I did after coming home from lunch is swap my flip-flops for shoes.

Still missin' my shoes..

 

[mrfocus]

I was washing bottles the other day and figured that since I was spending so much time standing up over the sink cleaning the darn bottles is was a good idea to get some shoes on to not have foot aches. Now I see how else it can help!

 

[uglygoat]

i won't post pics of me brewing in the kiddie pool in the heat of summer.... bwahahaha!!!!
