Ballistic Brew


A number of you have dedicated space to ballistic beer. Here is what happens when you dry hop, with leaf hops, in the PRIMARY!!!


Another view. I do not have a photo of the floor. What I can say is that this was a 1.100 SG Barleywine and about 2.5 gallons spewed out in the middle of the night.. (Now I know what that "thump" was!) The airlock was shattered. Not all pieces have been found.


The person responsible for the recipe, Brian (second from right), was nowhere to be found on the morning after the blast. We still call him Carboy. By the way, Red (on the left) is one of the original brewers.
