That should be a feature of the brewery tour.

If that happened anywhere I’ve ever worked (chemical and resource sectors), this would be a recordable line-of-fire incident and the investigation would take hundreds of person-hours.

Beer blast blows brawny brewer backwards, but brave buddy buoys brewer by brazenly buttplugging boisterous beer barrel ( :beer: )

Believe the brewery biz calls it bunging, not buttpugging :wink:

This article brings up a very bad memory for me. You see, my best friend died in a brewery accident. I was tasked to inform his widow that he fell into the vat and drowned.

“At least it was quick”, she said.

“Well, actually he got out three times to pee.”

It’s happened to me once, but it was very memorable. I hate racking arms with tri-clover fittings.

This sequel to “Strange Brew” isn’t as good as the original.

This confuses me. I’m just a homebrewer, but that looks like a mash tun. If so, it shouldn’t have any pressure beyond the hydrostatic pressure of the wort. Did the blow-off have a valve (if so, why!?) and was it shut? Maybe the recipe was so hop-heavy the trub got into the blow-off and clogged it, which seems unlikely.

I’ll be stressing about this later tonight. Wait, what’s that voice in my head saying? “Relax, have a homebrew.” Thank you, Charlie. I will.
