Styrian Stunner does a runner

Post by Belto » Wed Jul 04, 2007 1:30 pm

I spent my rainy weekend on two brews, one on Saturday, One on Sunday, Styrian Stunner finished with approx 30 ltrs @ 1.050.

Last night I went to the garage to inspect the progress, all was well as expected.

I had used my larger boiler as an intial FV due to not having anything else to take the brew length.

This morning another visit:

Disaster, Disaster, on my way out last night i must have knudged the tap, all my brew was on the garage floor.
What a waste, the brew went without a hitch, the gear performed and now this.
I'm looking for sympathy for I know you all will know what a loss this is .

Belto all I can say is, I feel you pain and loss at this time.

You must be bloody gutted, with a big mop up operation ahead of you.

Bad luck mate

Believe me, you have got it from me, I had a peek at a fermenting brew a couple of years ago only to find a large bluebottle floating on the surface and the vinegar smell from the brew was overpowering! To say that I was gutted is putting it mildly!

:x :cry:

Thats terrible Belto my heart goes out to you, last week I brewed 23L of stout and after 4hours of brewing left the tap open on the fermenter whilst it filled with chilled liquor, only for 10L to wash away into the night :( That was bad enough.
