turkey bacon, of course. yes, it sounds effed up, but life is better with turkey bacon. Pig bacon is great, but turkey bacon is the wave of the future, and the future is where it's at. (I"m not even convinced, but if I repeat it enough, it'll make sense)

The inlet hose to my immersion chiller came off 3 minutes into my chill. The hose was spraying tap water into my hot wort for about 40 seconds. I was really worried about infection. However, I just had my first taste of that batch last night and it tasted great. White IPA... instead of using a Belgian Wit yeast I used Forbidden Fruit. Anyone opinions/experience with this yeast strain?

it would have been totally screwed, but since you double posted your concerns, it'll be fine.
ahh, chances are, it will be fine. if you tasted it, and it tastes fine, then it's probably not infected, or ruined to the point of dumping. bottle/keg it, and enjoy the daylights out of it.

I made a 12 gallon bath of a Belgium tripel and also made all of the candied sugar. 4.5 pounds of it. I had it in the freezer chillen on wax paper on backing pans until i was ready to add it to the wort. It was a hot day an once outside the candied sugar started to get gummy and I couldn't get it off the wax paper without taking some with it. After a struggle I threw it all in the pot. Waited till the sugar dissolved and picked the wax paper out of the boil piece by piece. It was frightening at the time but you would never know by the taste now.

Made 4 gal of EdWort's Pale Ale, chilled it, pitched pacman yeast, put it in my ferm fridge, set the temp control, and went on with my day.
Long story short: it froze into slush b/c I set the controller wrong. Took it out, thawed it slowly to room temp (approx 67F) and it fermented out to 1.012!!! Hydro sample tasted great... We'll see in a few weeks if it really came out okay, but I couldn't believe the yeast survived and fermented!

This has nothing to do with the beer, but more to do with safety:
I brewed an IIPA recently and I was brewing in 15F weather outside. So I planned on calling the beer Frozen Face IIPA. After I pitched my yeast, I began clean up. My basement floor is one of those slick waterproof deals and while cleaning up I left water all over the floor.
I heard the dog yelp upstairs and I thought she was hurt, so I ran to help her. I slipped on the water landed on my left side and slide until the bottom step of the staircase stopped my momentum.
The dog was ok. She came down the stairs and licked my face. She was yelping at my roommate to pet her.
I ended up cracking my rib so the brew name changed to Cracked Rib IIPA. this turned out to be one of my best brews, but I'll never run across a wet floor again!

I was making a dark mild a while back, decided I wanted some Dr. Pepper while I was waiting. Well, I was not thinking straight as I was explaining something to my roommate, and ended up pouring about 7oz of Dr. Pepper into the kettle.  Turned out just fine! |
