So I brewed a milk stout on Saturday and last night I was admiring the krausen in my carboy and I noticed that there was about a 1"-1.5" long black animal hair in the krausen stuck to the side of the carboy. I don't know if it was in the kettle and got boiled or if it snuck inside as I was racking from the kettle to the primary. I'm more worried about the latter, but everything looks normal so far so I'm not too worried.
I have 2 cats and a dog, the dog has longer black hair and one of the cats is a black DSH. It could be from either the dog or the cat. My house is perpetually covered in pet hair. I sweep and vacuum regularly, but there's no avoiding it.
I'm not going to ask "should I be worried" because I'm trying not to. However, I will ask: has anyone else has ever found a pet hair in their carboy/bucket during or after fermentation? Was there any negative side-effects?
