Lesson Learned

OK, so I kinda knew that one set of bottles I’d put away a little over a week ago had been slightly “over-charged” since, besides the same amount of sugar “charge” as all the other bottles, they also contained a goodly amount of trub that was likely to contain a bit more yeast the sugar could reactivate.

Oh, “lesson learned”? Don’t open one of “those” bottles while sitting at a computer. Screen, keyboard drawer, keyboard: all liberally sprayed by some hyper-carbonation. *heh*

Cleanup was delicious, though.

  1. I would have thought you had the rule, “never open any beverage can/bottle anywhere except in front of the kitchen sink” printed on a card in front of your computer. That just goes to show how non geeky computer users might be able to add helpful information even to master geeky computer folks like yourself. That was dumb, really dumb.

  2. Ha, rules about food and drink near the computer are for users, not geeks. Christ, if we couldn’t have food and drink at our computers we’d starve to death.

    1. Oh, but there are rules, AG. It’s just that they are different for different classes of people. For example, since I know I can pop my keyboard in a dishwasher for cleaning (no soap, just air dry), I simply keep a spare (wireless, as my normal keyboard–same model, of course) keyboard handy. Takes a couple of days after an incident like the one above to air dry and be put back in service, but the DW even removes the tongue-deposited DNA… *heh*

      Different rules.

      Cleaning the screen was easy, cos the alcohol simply made a good solvent for my microfiber cloth to use in removing other deposits ahead of my normal cleaning schedule. 😉
