Burst Wyeast pac

#1 Post by Dale Wheeler » Sat Sep 06, 2014 6:13 am

While sanitizing the top of my Wyeast pack, it burst a pinhole leak along the top seal. I realized this happened after noticing the sanitizer starting to turn opaque. I don't think I lost much, fortunately caught it right after it happened.
Has this happened to anyone?

Never had one come open during sanitation, but I did smack one one on the B&B counter once and it sprayed all over Alberta! She gave me another pack (that i smacked later), but didn't seem to happy about it.

Joe, are you sure that wasn't some crazy Freudian type dream you had?
