I'm an idiot!

[Beer-lord]

Brewed 11 gallons of Drop Kick Nate today and was going to do a half 001, half 007 ferment. As I was attempting to get the strap around my Big Mouth Bubbler, my wet hands let go of the fermenter and I lost about 1 1/2 gallons. I thought I lost more but out of 11 gallons, I should still get close to 9 so I guess I will survive.
RedBEERd was more upset than I was. I could only laugh at my stupidity.
Now I have to brew more beer!
But, we had a rare 68 degree December day so I'm 1000% happy.

Merry Christmas Borg!

[Inkleg]

Yes, but spilling beer has nothing to do with it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

[John Sand]

Spilled outside, I hope.
Not to add insult, but spilling beer makes you a klutz, not an idiot.

[Beer-lord]

Yes, outside.
But it's chugging along fine today and smells good. I'm sure that it only added more aeration when it spilled.

Oh man did you lob up a beachball! But I will bite my tongue on you being an idiot ........ That does suck though, at least it wasn't a broken glass carboy.

[Whamolagan]

The way I see it is you got lucky. If that was actually finished beer you would be an idiot, but unfermented wort is just what what it is. I bet in the future you get handles for the carboy

[Beer-lord]

It actually was the carrying straps that I was trying to fit under the carboy that caused the problem. I had forgotten to put them on before filling it. See, I am an idiot!

[Whamolagan]

Fine then I won't get in a pissing match with our BOTM

[Beer-lord]

Well I really should know what an idiot looks like because I have a big mirror that I look into each morning.
