***** hair in my beer

No matter how hard I tried, I managed to get 3 or 4 ***** hairs in my fermenter. Should I try to fish them out and risk contaminating my beer or just leave them there? Will it hurt anything.

Any other cat owners out there?

I take it that HBT doesn't like the word *****?

I'd prolly fish them out with a sanitized spoon or something if it were me.

Leave 'em. It's fine. The yeast should win.

EDIT: Haha...opposing advice. Point: take your pick, not a big deal either way, IMO.

The only reason I'd do that is cause it would gross me out if I left them in there. I have no idea if it would hurt the beer or not.

I'm not an expert on infection (not had one yet, knock on wood), but I would think any damage they would cause has already been done. I'd leave them.

Plus, provides some interesting naming possibilities for your beer.

We have a dog & a cat. I hate it when pet pubes get in my buckets & all. Damn hard time trying to wipe them out before using to sanitize. I'd fish them out myself. I'd hate to be pouring a beer with others,& have them get a p***y hair in their glass.

I can only think of one circumstance where eating a p***y hair would be okay.

No way to get them out. Let it ride.

I have two cats and the last time I filled my Boil Kettle with water, It looked as though my cat went swimming in the water, I was pissed cause I dumped it all out twice. I found out the culprit was a towel, that I used to wipe it dry. Never doin that again, haha

This thread can take on so many meanings. So what was in your beer? lol

I have two pvssies in my house (three if you count SWMBO). I don't think I've eaten a meal in the past 8 years that didn't contain some pvssy hair.

Just live with it.

So what you are saying is to just eat the pvssy hair?

Don't rip my head off but I hate cats. Get rid of the cats and problem solved

I mean I don't have any problems with the cat but I keep on telling my wife that if she didn't stroke the pussie so much we wouldn't have these types of problems.

Every time I turn around she is playing with it. I keep tellin' her that if she don't stop being so rough with her she will soon be a bald pussie.

This thread= holy ****!

I'm wondering how long until someone suggests shaving the pvssy.

And there it is.

I have three of the little fleabags, and this monstrosity:



I'm thinking of naming "the Brewery", "Hair of the Dog"

Thanks for all the advice.

I just wanted to ensure that damn pussie didn't give me some nasty infection...

The hair will stay.

Gotta love that dancing banana....takes something already damn funny and knocks it up the funny meter a few more notches!

Well alrighty then........um....Maybe brew outside..or maybe open ferment with the wild ***** hair you have rolling through you house like tumble weeds Sorta like a lambic only nastier:cross:

Hahaha creative thread title. I have two black cats and their hair gets EVERYWHERE. I do my best to keep it out of my brews but it's inevitable. It hasn't caused any major problems for me yet.
