I don’t know, I kinda revel in dirty jobs… as long as a hot shower is not too far away.
You mean the dent in the fermenter? I wonder what they hit it with too.
Yeah, that’s it… ;) ;D
Wow…
It’s a new anti-wrinkle cream.
No. The ladder in the corner. Think of all the OSHA classes that went with it.
Better this to happen when removing a hose from a fermenter than a port-a-potty! :o
That guy looks like he is enjoying his glamorous job as a craft brewer.
You are right about that. Ask me how I know. ::) It wasn’t a port-a-potty but a “honey wagon” (think hog confinement) and will never forgive my little brother for pulling that valve.
I’d take a yeast bath over the stuff we had to spread any day. ;D

Dude. I hope that is not recent!
Burn or a smash?
Holy crap that looks painful.
Ouch, man that does look painful. Hope that heals up fast. Definitely a lot of things to watch out for in a brewery. There was a pretty good article in Beer Advocate a few months back about the hazards encountered in a working brewery. It’s a very interesting read and helps to let people know just how hazardous the job is.
That’s one of my employees. I did the same thing on smaller scale. That’s what happen when you take off a clamp without closing a valve. You only do that once. 
That should teach me to not read the forum during lunch. 
Third degree burns can take quite awhile to heal. Hopefully he/she is taking care of it and healing well.

It happened late last summer. He took off a week and was back.
Glad he is okay. Anytime I need to remove a clamp I check the valves, then double check and make sure that the clamp I’m removing is the right one and that any valves associated are closed. Had a momentary lapse once when removing a line from the CIP arm on a fermenter. Forgot to close the valve on the CIP arm but did close the one on the line. As soon as that I opened that clamp I got showered with Iodophor, which is fortunate. From then on I always check and recheck.
