I threw a new mead together about a week ago used more honey than usual tried some different things a new yeast etc.. Stuff was taking off great. I wrapped my 5 gallon carboy with its blanket and put it on a small foot stool in the kitchen. I was concerned about the temperature in my basement being to cool for my purposes...
My kids were shuffling this thing around apparently they hit it against the cabinet handle or something hard causing an unseen flaw under the blanket because when I went to add my nutrients today the entire carboy collapsed. So there I stood with gallons of premature mead gushing into every corner of my kitchen and dripping through my hardwood floor onto my stuff in the basement.
Oh well..
