Brewed it up yesterday, smelled and looked great. Really like the colour.

Nice work Jon, looks like a good recipe

I shiver each time I see a glass carboy placed on bare concrete.

Try dropping one half-full of sanitizer on concrete with just flip flops on! Happened 10yrs ago. At least the basement smelled clean for awhile. Only got one little cut on my big toe. Never cleaned Carboys while drinlking after that.

I need a Topper icon (from Dilbert).

That's nothing. Marta dropped a whole carboy of red wine. Couldn't have been white...

When I keg I do it in my garage with the carboy on a work bench , the same one my wife didn't see, which also had a full carboy of DFH Clone. So now not only do I have 20 liter less beer I also need a new workbench and a trip to the body shop

I didn't follow... did she run into it with the car?

Sure sounds like it.

Yes she did, beer and carboy everywhere

When I was younger my father had two carboys of red wine sitting on a board supported by milk crates underneath...he moved one of the carboys off of the board and the board flipped up causing the second carboy to hit the concrete. In all of my life I've never seen him so pissed off. Red Wine everywhere!
