I know everyone has a stroke of bad luck every now and again. I want to know what's the worst brewing accident you have done. Anything from broken hydrometers.. to bad yeast... or maybe whole batches being spilled
I was siphoning my cooled wort into a carboy. I stepped out for a minute and when I came back the tubing fell out. I lost half my wort

Picked up a Carboy full of wort after just pitching the yeast, bottom of the carboy fell out, spilled perfectly good wort everywhere. Luckily I was outside, so I didn't make a huge mess, but licking up the wort so it didn't go to waste wasn't as easy.

Eh its just Heineken, no biggie
This wasn't an accident, but was a sad sad time for homebrewing: my friend used perfectly good grains and brewing techniques to brew a Colt 45 clone.
I can't say I was part of it, I abstained as a matter of principle.
