Yesterday, I posted that I had made a mess with my beer project. Little did I know.
That was a piddly little girly mess with a couple of tiny little dots of beer foam in the bucket. Oooo. Oooo.
That was nothing compared to what happened later.
To cut the story short, we heard a pop and found that the Yeast Party had blown the bung completely out of the carboy and splattered the walls and floor with beer snot. We managed to get it back together again, but here is what it looks like now.
That is really disgusting stuff in the bucket. Hold your nose, here is a closeup.
In order to keep this monster in control I had to apply restraints…. I had to tie it down.
The beer kept blowing the bung out of the hole and foaming at the mouth. It was an ugly fight, but we prevailed, and the beast is contained.
I know, it is cruel. Call it “Tough Love”.
Hey! How about those Boy Scout knots?
OK. Never mind.
