Simila story here! Rolleyes  I used to make wine. One old recipe called for a slice of toast floated on top of the must and the yeast sprinkled on top of the toast to allow it to be added gradually. Imagine my astonishment the next day when there was a two foot by eighteen inch slice of toast hangimg over the side of the bucket! Big Grin

I can top that!! My Mum used to work in a bakery where they would mix the dough for the bread and then, the dough would be loaded into a van and driven to another bakery where it would be cooked and turned into loaves.
One hot summer's day, the van broke down mid journey, and, while the driver waited for the recovery vehicle to arrive, the yeast continued to work its stuff on the dough! When they opened the back door to remove the dough, they found that it had risen so much that it had completely filled the back of the van!! They had to hack it out before the van could continue its journey!
How we laughed. Big Grin
