Well, it was probably bound to happen eventually, and today I broke my first carboy while cleaning it; but I guess that's not bad for over 10 years brewing and probably a hundred plus batches. I banged it against another carboy, so I'm lucky I didn't break both of them.
Anyway, I was still sulking about that when I had a second mishap. I had poured half of my kettle through a strainer into a bucket to catch the hops before transfer via funnel into a carboy. I lifted the bucket, noticed that the funnel was still in the sanitizing bucket, set the bucket of wort on the side of the bathtub while I reached for the funnel, and I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Well, there went half a batch down the drain, plus a little mess to clean up from some that spashed out onto the floor. But at least it fell into the bathtub and not onto the floor.
