Curious to see what is the strangest/worst event that interrupted your brew day. I had mine tonight...
Tonight I had a Firestone Walker Wookey Jack Black Rye IPA clone on the burner and I was approaching the 25 minute additions (most of the hops are in the last 25 minutes), when my 2yr old daughter started crying. She was eating raisins and we concluded she may have stuck one up her nose. She calmed down and let us inspect up her nose with a flashlight but we couldnt see anything. We interrogated her for a bit and finally realized that there WAS a raisin up there so we were about to take her to the 24hr medical center.
Now, I didn't want to rush my flameout hops and wanted to make sure I pitched at the proper time so a trip to the doctor would throw a wrench into my plans. I took a closer look and saw "something" so my wife and I tried a few things to dislodge the raisin (getting her to blow out, reverse CPR etc) but nothing was successful. Finally I took a flexi-straw and stuck it up her nose and sucked it out. Love is sucking a snotty raisin out of your daughter's nose with a flexi straw then spitting it out.
As for the beer, it didn't get the full attention that I wanted, but my girls come first. Hopefully it turns out okay!
so that's my story.. what's yours?
