I cracked my glass carboy
After cold crashing and transfer, I went to go clean it with hot water without thinking. It broke in half in an almost perfect bowl shape. I didn't expect it since it had been 30 minutes since the transfer and didn't feel too cold. I'm lucky I had it on the ground when it broke. Usually I have it balancing on the sink.
I think this was a cheap carboy, the glass looks pretty thin. Is it typical for the mid section to be so thin?
