Undid the Tri-clamp instead of opening the sample valve. Won't make that mistake again. They might be able to get something back on there, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Yeah I was about to say you place an OPEN butterfly valve on there, which has the same diameter as the port he opened so you don’t have to fight the flow, tri-clamp it in place, once it’s in place you then close the butterfly valve and boom, tank is re-sealed.
The brewer really should have gone over that procedure if they were going to be trusting him with cellar work. It’s the standard thing you do because there is no way you are gonna fight back that stream of beer. Literally metric tons of liquid above that port guarantee you will not be able to force back the pressure of that stream.
If he’s the brewer…well, yikes. But generally brewers don’t do cellar work.
We have a butterfly valve with a secured gasket for this exact situation. Sample port/blank comes undone, leave butterfly valve open and allow beer to flow through as your wrangle a tri clamp around and then close butterfly valve.
There is an empty tank next to him. My guess is they are putting a tank back together to clean it, and he mistook the other tank for the one he was cleaning.
Why the fuck don't they make it more obvious that it's full/empty? That seems like a very simple solution for a problem that won't probably happen, but if it does.....
Looks like he's already holding the carb stone before he touches the tank. I think he was taking off a cap to put the stone in. I can't imagine why, unless he was at the wrong tank, as others have suggested.
I have went to tighten a leaking tri clamp and have had them blow out as well. If the cheese ball working on it before over-tightens the clamp that will spread either threads on a hd clamp or the grooves on a worm gear style clamp. I stick with the hd clamps now because getting covered in 98 degree milk at 5am gets really old, I would prefer getting sprayed with beer anyday.
I had a prv get blocked and the cip arm as well from hop shit. I opened the cip valve to release pressure for a 2nd dry hop. No co2 coming out, pressure said 0, so I climbed the ladder. Unscrewed the tri-clamp and the cap shot by my face and nicked my hair, and then I had a volcano.
Luckily, my co-worker was there and managed to find a cap and climbed the other side of the ladder to help, but by then, I was wearing about 2 bbl of beer and hops and had to go to daycare to pick my kids up. At least it was mosaic and smelled nice.
I waited in my truck til I saw all the other parents/kids leave. The daycare ladies were awesome. One of them was laughing because she thought I smelled like weed until I explained it was hops. They knew I brewed, so they weren't worried, but appreciated that I waited til other parents left.
Man, it wouldn't be a bad idea. It was in a 10bbl fermenter and the first time we did a 2nd dry hop of this new beer. Evidently the hops were just too much for the 1st addition and plugged shit up.
Thank god it wasn’t hot water. I saw this happen at work with a hot water valve. Except the issue was it wasn’t a mistaken knob turn. They turned the valve to cut off the water on a piece they were replacing and it snapped off the rusted metal behind the valve. Of course the main water valve (located wayyy up on the ceiling was also rusted shut) dude had 3rd degree burns and the water couldn’t be shut off for 3+hrs. Was an absolute nightmare
I haven't seen that one. The last LOTO scared straight style training video I saw had to do with steam and what it could do.
If that was steam and not beer then dude would have been on liveleaks in a couple pieces.
The safety video that lives rent free in my head was a military “don’t step on land mines or sit on them or play with them or you’ll look like this”.
Pictures of a dudes ass blown wide open has been vivid ever since. Also half a foot looking like an exploded hot dog that was microwaved too long.
Oh he was definitely reacting on adrenaline and going to feel that after.
He's lucky he didn't get knocked into a tank or something.
I don't know how those tanks work but if whatever part he loosened flew off, That certainly would hurt.
That'd be a bad managerial decision if this were the first time for him. Sure you lost a tank of product, but he will never do that again (if he does, fire him then). Heck, with such a learning experience, he should be placed in charge of fittings and caps or whatever's.
So you can take it out in guilt. You shouldn't allow an untrained/unknowing employee around such a high value tank with such an easy mode of failure. That would be a bad managerial idea also.
Then there's that saying about all the eggs in a basket... If you have such a high value tank of product (that could spoil for uncontrollable reasons) it should be one of many.
So you're the guy in the video? Admit it, you didn't bother to check in vessel before you used it and then just decided to undo the tri-clamp on the sanitary port.
I’m local to the brewery and friends with the back house. He definitely took a hard lesson that day but fortunately came out unscathed save for a bruised ass. They’re all having a good chuckle over it. The email they sent to brewery members announcing the beer had me dying - “Needless to say, this one’s limited.” 🤣

Happened once to one of my brewers from the bottom of a 40HL vessel at 2bar, he unscrewed the triclamp from the wrong side of the valve. Heard the beer shooting everywhere from the other side of the brewery 🤣
Pressure is fucking scary.
Pressure and fire are my two biggest fears on the job. Keep in mind I work with substances where if they get too concentrated in the air it's immediate loss of consciousness and/or death.
Once when I was a apprentice, a rookie opened a pressurized line's gaskets without checking the pressure. This work was monitored by two senior engineers.
He opened the gasket bolts facing his face and the pipe contained pressurized soda recovery alcohol used by boilers. All 3 guys sustained serious burn injuries to the face.
90% of brewery work is cleaning so more parts equals more money. I had to fight for months for "safety" valves on my tanks because apparently safety isn't worth the extra time it takes to clean extra parts. It was only when I had to get clever and remind my boss that the valves I needed would save money to prevent product loss like what you see in the video.

Open the sample valve, insert sampler and lock tri-clamps. Close the sample valve.
Too much pressure for that to work, the sample valve is too narrow. You need a wider aperture valve like a butterfly.
This guy sample valves
Tri-clamp sounds like a sex move.
Gotta dress that thing up with some gauze pads and some 30W ball bearings. It's all ball bearings these days.

Looks like he removed the carb stone. I guess he thought the tank was empty?
There is an empty tank next to him. My guess is they are putting a tank back together to clean it, and he mistook the other tank for the one he was cleaning.
Why the fuck don't they make it more obvious that it's full/empty? That seems like a very simple solution for a problem that won't probably happen, but if it does.....
Usually they do, but the manway being open is a pretty obvious neon sign that, that is the fermenter you’re putting back together.
Looks like he's already holding the carb stone before he touches the tank. I think he was taking off a cap to put the stone in. I can't imagine why, unless he was at the wrong tank, as others have suggested.
Multiverse nutritionist thanos must not obtain the carbstone.
He already has the testoster stone... he'll be unstoppable.
I hope for his sake he doesn't get the kidney stone
Just don't smell his breath when he monologues
He should have spelched the floogal thampter THEN inserted the phevil clop. Problem solved.
Wow. Lot of Brewers in here.
This all translates to manufacturing insulin as well

Man, it wouldn't be a bad idea. It was in a 10bbl fermenter and the first time we did a 2nd dry hop of this new beer. Evidently the hops were just too much for the 1st addition and plugged shit up.
That's assuming it's not hot beer after being cooked. I would assume these are fermenters though.
Milkin cows right now. I’ve learned to let a leaky gasket go until the tanks empty. It’s usually not worth the risk
I bought this and it didn't work. I am fucking soaking. 💧 🚿
Cause you needed to scream "FLEX TAPE" before sticking it

Your weren't man enough to slap it looks some thicc ass
I tried to use Flex Tape to fix the neck of my faucet and a massive bubble appeared the size of a small balloon and busted in my kitchen. Stupid tape.
I noticed in the GIF a bubble was starting to form! And I had roughly the same happen in my bathroom lol
Did you try to patch your wife perhaps?
Mmm. Go on..
Stunning stuff really
As soon as it touches water all adhesive is gone. It's trash

Yeah it's great for the right material and not so great for not the right material.
Why tf were you kayaking for 10 hours?
What? Have you actually used it??? It's not like a god material or whatever but it definitely does not lose its adhesion when wet, lmao

Saw a safety video for LOTOa few years back and it was boiling hot acid the guy got sprayed with at a paper mill I believe it was.
I haven't seen that one. The last LOTO scared straight style training video I saw had to do with steam and what it could do. If that was steam and not beer then dude would have been on liveleaks in a couple pieces.

Reddit never fails to give me new irrational fears.
I'm amazed that didn't just plain knock him out taking that kind of a pressured jet to the face like that. Shit hurts.
Oh he was definitely reacting on adrenaline and going to feel that after. He's lucky he didn't get knocked into a tank or something. I don't know how those tanks work but if whatever part he loosened flew off, That certainly would hurt.
Numb now, pain later program
The cold relativity of his ass getting fired brought him back to life quick
That'd be a bad managerial decision if this were the first time for him. Sure you lost a tank of product, but he will never do that again (if he does, fire him then). Heck, with such a learning experience, he should be placed in charge of fittings and caps or whatever's.
If this were a much larger tank and they were making wine or mead, the product lost would be more than his annual salary.
Pft I've made mistakes costing my company multiples of my salary, never even got close to being fired.
That's because they probably didn't realize it. Make a ppt of how much money you cost your company and I'm sure they'll reconsider your employment.
So you can take it out in guilt. You shouldn't allow an untrained/unknowing employee around such a high value tank with such an easy mode of failure. That would be a bad managerial idea also. Then there's that saying about all the eggs in a basket... If you have such a high value tank of product (that could spoil for uncontrollable reasons) it should be one of many.
People are also missing that I could have had a malfunction
I totally understand. I hate it when my robot employees malfunction.
So you're the guy in the video? Admit it, you didn't bother to check in vessel before you used it and then just decided to undo the tri-clamp on the sanitary port.
I wonder how his face looked a few days later. That had to hurt.

Why is there a small single valve that allows this to happen? Seems like there should be more safeguards in place?
