R.I.P My Big Mouth Friend

I broke my Big Mouth Bubbler 6.5 glass fermenter today. I bought it when they first came out with them, I knew the glass was thin on them early ones and it didn't always seal up good, but I mainly used it as a primary and I fermented a lot of batches in it. Had the harness for it. I was rinsing it with starsan and bumped the devider in my sink and it shattered. I'm going to split this 6 gal batch that I brewed today in a 5 gal and a LKB..................I'm about done with glass, I have one more 5 glass....

Sorry for your loss. Hope you didn't hurt yourself.
Get a plastic one....I love mine though I'm not sure how long it will last.

Sorry you broke your carboy.
I've never used glass, except for my bottles. I ferment in my basement, which has a concrete slab, and I know glass and concrete don't play well together. I've dropped my carboys numerous times, too, although knowing they won't break, it's possible I'm not as careful as I would be with glass.

I cut my thumb a little but it's alright.
Actually I am serious considering a Brewtech Brew Bucket, I have to do some reseach on them and see if it will fit into my brew-cool chamber.

Oh yes, the Brew Bucket is my favorite then my Big Mouth. Haven't use the bucket in a year and a half.
Some people like to see things in a carbon though the Brew Bucket is much easier to clean.

I just recently bought a BrewBucket, and I love it. I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Grammar/phrasing.
There's a difference between big mouth and big mouthed.

One would think that the founder of the forum would abstain from slander such as this. When I saw Berryman's post, I started to type a response pointing towards a certain "colorful" forum member, then decided it was in poor taste. Now, this. What has this forum come to.
Sorry Rick you were absolutely the last thing on my mind when I posted this
BUT......... now that it is pointed out I can easily see the misunderstanding ....
