I took my setup apart after my rummy spirit run. Then I lifted my boiler to flip it upside down and my left hand was stuck to the very hot keg ring. It sizzled and I almost got the grill marks. Ouch. My hand is throbbing in pain. What a dumb ass.

You are using carrots to make alcohol?

You should see Damien's outfit. I'll find it

I make carrot and beetroot wine, but have never ran it through the still. It tastes surprisingly good, but needs laying down for six months or so. Perhaps next year I will disitl some?

Went away for a minute to get me a cup of coffee. Came back and saw one of my hoses had come out of the 210 liter vessel I use for cooling. Allmost a swimming pool in the room. Around 30 liters got out. Not the way to impress the Mss.

Sorry guys, I posted the photographs of my leg, or thought I did, were they taken down by the administrators? I would certainly understand as they are "graphic" as saying goes, or did I load them up and not post the reply?

210 Litres!

You have a production plant there, buddy!

[Odin]

No, I only have a 30 liters potstill and some smaller ones. A 50 liter version is under construction. 210 liters is the vessel I keep my cooling liquid in.

Damianryan -- sorry to here about such an unfortunate injury. Hopefully the healing will give you back "most" of the function you enjoyed before.

As Larry mentioned, your setup is worth mentioning (and viewing) again. The link to DR setup.

It hurts to even think about the accident.

You certainly have my best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

That's rough, DamianRyan. Hope you get better fast.

This one didn't hurt, but I had 6 gal rum dunder in 2 old HDPE carboys, dropped one in the garage that we ferment and store in. When a corner broke out of the bottom I dropped the other one trying to stop the spill and it broke too. Dumbass. It takes a lot of time and energy to get rid of 6 gallons of stillage and a couple more passes with a mop to get rid of the smell. The wife isn't pleased.

A while back I was throwing out a bucket of boiling hot spent wash.
And I threw it all over my leg and foot.
Next to me was an open top 205 litre, full, container of cold water.

Well, I've never been quick on my feet but I would have made a ballerina proud, the speed and grace of the high leg lift as I submerged my leg in that beautiful cold water!
The foot was a bit scalded but soon recovered completely.

Thanks for the link WalkingWolf. And well worth the look. I see what you mean Larry.
