Several days ago I racked my saison into my Northern Brewer 5gal secondary glass carboy for fruit addition. About 5 hours later I heard a loud crack, and then the following morning I noticed a puddle around the carboy. There was a crack about halfway around the bottom of the carboy that was leaking.
Luckily I managed to salvage most of the brew back into my primary. I took the carboy outside and dropped it from about 6" into the trash can and the entire bottom broke out. I'm glad it broke when it was empty and didn't cut my arm off.
Is this a common issue?
Definitely leaning towards Better Bottles now.
