Half my stout got dumped

Nightshade · Feb 13, 2013

Came into work this morning and a vanilla Coffee Stout I have been working on was everywhere beneath the fermenter

Apparently someone took a sample for a customer to taste and didn't close it up properly allowing it to drip out all night long.

Never been so pissed off about beer in my life as I am right now.

Who the hell opens up a fermenter like that??

Condolences.

Well it wasn't a dump valve just a sample valve but it poured steady all night, I am guessing I lost 1-1.5bbl in that timeframe.

expensive screwup on someones part and I think I know who it is.

If only..

Today after brewing the Hefe I was planning to pull yeast and add the coffee and vanilla to the batch, guess I have some recalculating to do before adding.

At first I thought you were talking about a 5 gallon batch- and was super jealous that you have a fermenter at work. Then I read the 1.5bbl loss and while my jealousy didn't lessen, my sympathy increased. That sucks! Kyle

I always hated it when people who don't know what they're doing fool around with things. That's quite a loss.

Limbs have been cut off for less than that! Absolute sacrilege

biohaz7331 · Feb 13, 2013

Oh wow I did not realize the 1-1.5bbl I was thinking gallons...doh my condolences.

Nightshade · Feb 13, 2013

Yeah at work it's 3bbl batches.

Pretty sure it's half gone, gonna crack it open to add coffee and vanilla beans in about an hour or so and I will be able to determine how much dumped for sure. Expensive mistake for sure in both time, ingredients and recipe design time.

Your last post was your 666th. Maybe it was the devil's cut?
