Beer Loving Trent Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So after working the last 19 days straight I was looking forward to, the weekend off (finally).I finished rinsing out my 32 longneck bottles (750 ml) This is where it went to hell in a hand basket. Well over the last two weeks, I bottle batches and placed them into to boxes as I always do. Well for the last 2 weeks due to my hectic work roster, I have pretty much left the cases of beer where they were. Since I had needed space to put down beer I was planning to bottle I decided I would put the last two weeks batches in the stack with the rest of my beer. WELL bad mistake, as I moved a box of about 15, 750 ml bottles, I felt the centre of gravity shift towards the concrete of my shed( which is a double garage in my back yard). Well I needless to say but I have to I, ended up with only one bottle left from that box. I stormed inside to tell my bride, who hate beer, but understands my need to make it every week. I then took the ready FV out of my brew cupboard, and placed it on my bottling milk crate, which I do every week. ( I have 2 FV's I bottle every Friday and pitch a new batch every Saturday, 13 days in the FV). I took my plastic tub of sterilized bottled off the table only to watch my FV do a flip and for me to be showered in beer for the 2nd time. I stormed inside for the second time,to vent, the look on my bride face could only match what I felt (shear horror). I said, "I just worked the last 19 days straight!! Why?" I walked back out to my shed and saw by the love of GOD (who is a beer drinker) that my FV landed right side up. I ended up bottling 22 long neck bottles, instead of my normal 30 but I'm glad I bottled something because I nearly didn't. So I would love to hear any problems that anyone else has across as I can't be the only unlucky bastard that poo like this happens to. (P.S. If any of you wonder why I worked the last 19 days straight I'm the boss of an Ice production factory, and as you probably realise summer time is the optimum time for Ice sales) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
