Aaaarrgghhh, disaster. Added first hops went inside, came out after 30mins to find pot on its side and wort all over the ground. The main suspect was sheepishly licking the worth up off the ground.

Eventually got this on today, a real basic summer pleaser, hopefully.

The dog was locked up for the duration.

At least it was pre fermentation I can only imagine trying to explain to the wife how the dog got drunk.

Had rabbits when I was a kid and so when my friends and I planned a party (16),we hid drink in the rabbit hutch. I had Bacardi in a holy water bottle which the feckin rabbit liked so much,she bit into it and drank it. A drunk rabbit is a sight to behold.
