Who's injured themselves brewing

[BigJim_inFLA]

Whilst stirring the near boiling wort, with protective gloves on, somehow managed to get hot wort inside the glove! Still don't know how. It healed up nicely but left a scar about the size of an egg on my hand. :smack:

Only 1 brew so far, but I cut my self on the can of extract. I brewed an IBA, Indian Blood Ale

Numerous scalds and burns but the most painful injury was when I made the stainless worm for my cooler mash tun. I cut ends off of a water supply line and pulled the inner hose out with no problem. Then I managed to embed a few strands of stainless under my left thumb nail when plugging one end. Took tweezers, an xacto knife, and a camp lantern to pull all of it out.

Owwwww ... The under-the-fingernail stuff sucks. Ouch.

I dropped a 3 lb (when it was dry) bag of ginger into nearly boiling wort while trying to drain it after steeping.

The splash burned half my face, neck, hands...

Lol.....

While nowhere near as bad as the hand, I helped a buddy move his BK off the burner and into the driveway to start chilling. Was talking with someone else in the group and he drops the chiller in without turning on the water. Maybe 20 seconds later, turns the water on, and the unsecured end sent a stream of water that started close to my pants and went all the way up and hit me on the neck and left a clear burn mark.

That night take off my shirt and I had a straight red line that started from my hip and went all the way up to the other side of my neck.

Does getting stung by about a dozen bees while making mead count?? Little bas-terds!!

I think my worst brewing injury was when I was trying to brew a sophisticated Lithuanian beer for some intelligent connoisseurs. the whole brew day went off without a hitch. everything went so smoothly. so I chilled the wort, aerated, and pitched the yeast. I carried the carboy down stairs and stumbled, but never dropped the carboy! the next day I went to check on fermentation when it happened. it cut my face off & wore it all during primary. ferment temp never went over 65, even when it ate my tongue.

I've damaged plenty of gear and pride while brewing, but thankfully all the bodily harm is limited to....

singing off a good chunk of hair when I was learning how to light a burner. (I'd never worked with propane/gas before, only electric, wood, and charcoal.)
