I've been brewing for 12 years and have never seen (or heard) of this actually happening.

So your blowoff tube clogged and the pressure built until it exploded the carboy?

Oh man, and that's carpet too....

You must have had a bit of a fault or something going on with your carboy... was it a 6.5 gal acid carboy? if so, what a shame!

Sorry brotha,

And bug, you never cease to amaze with your pictorial contributions.
