Something had to happen sooner or later. After 10 years of brewing, never had a dumper or lost a batch to the elements, harsh as they can be here in western Nevada.
Unseasonably nice day in the low '60s and a great day to brew. Everything went as planned until it was time to transfer to the fermenter. Had shut down the pump and let the wort settle out while still running water through the IC. Had checked for leaks when I turned the water on and everything was good.
Carried the sanitized fermenter out and saw the patio was flooded with foamy liquid. The kettle was overflowing; Knew right away what had happened. The hose had popped off of the inlet of the IC. I just laughed, knowing that after 10 years I'd been pushing my luck for quite a while.
Just glad I wasn't brewing inside or would be singing soprano for sure
