Came to running it off into the FV, started it and went inside until it had finished. Came back out to the shed and found I'd left the tap on the FV open and 5 gallons of expensively hopped bitter all over the shed floor.
Arghhhhhhhhhh!
Arghhhhhhhhhh!
I thought the brewing day was going far too well.

Sorry to hear about your sad loss, its something that happens to most of us sooner or later. Put down to experience, I don't expect you'll let it happen again!

Re: Arghhhhhhhhhh!
I know the feeling, believe me. I used to drink when I brew, not anymore. Not saying you were pished, but shit happens. My advice would be to brew again very soon. If you don't, the anger stays and manifests. I have similar feelings every time I blow through a cask. There's an emptiness that surrounds a brewer when he either [censored] up, or there is no beer left.
Re: Arghhhhhhhhhh!
I wasn't pissed, I did have a remnants of flu though. I'll blame that.
Brewed again yesturday and is fermenting well away.
