The most crappy thing I've ever heard.

I guess my beer for the last few years has been crappy...

So my wife talked me in to cleaning the bathroom with her. She's three months pregnant so for once I gave in. I'm cleaning the toilet the best way I know how and she hands me a scrub brush. I tell her that I can't use that on the toilet cause I use it on my wort chiller.

Apparently the scrub brush I've been using on my wort chiller has also been used to clean my toilet for the last few years. I'm kind of disgusted as I drink some homebrew with residual crap in it....

Ummm, errr, ahhhh. It gets boiled at least?
Sorry dude. That's balls.

im sorry, but i literally just laughed out loud.

that is a serious case of misfortune and a lack of communication.

i am sorry for your poopy beers.

a little extra fiber and protein in your beer won't hurt. :cross:

I suppose I can attest to the power of proper sanitation techniques now. No human fecal bacterial infections in my beer...well I have been rather regular lately...does that mean anything???

I did the same as Cali. Sorry, man. That really does suck.

Maybe time to get a dedicated brush and keep it with your brewing supplies?

Ever find corn in your homebrew?

Before I even read the entire thing I knew where it was going. So sorry man, that's crappy!

I'm eating a bowl of chili with a fried egg in it right now.

Glad I use a sponge for my wort chiller.

Does your beer taste like crap?

On your next batch leave out the yeast and see what happens

In the olden days of beer the local brewers had a 'magic stirrer' that imparted wild yeast strains to the beer (unbeknown to them), rather than pitching yeast. It was never washed and usually just hung on a wall and different houses were known to make better/worse beer, but the only known variable was the stirrer.......maybe if the quality of your beer goes down rather than up after this discovery, you should encourage to wife to clean the toilet in the traditional manner more often.

Sorry man but i seriously LOL'd!

Ha ha, classic!

But who scrubs their IC? I just rinse mine with a hose before & after use & dunk it in starsan.

I can't mix up Starsan by the bucket, my water is so hard that it doesn't get along with Starsan for very long and I end up having to dump it. Usually I just do a half gallon of distilled water at a time and use a spray bottle or pour it on equipment.

There's a few spots where break material collects on my wort chiller so I had this real good bristle brush that would get in there and make it short work. Now I'll have to shop around for a new brush and write "HOMEBRE ONLY" on it and see if I can keep that one.

Yah this made me cringe and giggle a little. I'd expect most the poopers would fall out during the fermentation though. Lol. Good luck brewing poop-free brew from here on out.

Wait....So... Is using toliet water to brew a bad thing also???

haha I def LOL'ed and sorry to hear about the miscommunication. I do like your play on words with your beer being "crappy" lol

This is sad. Just so sad.

Note to self - "no beer swaps with spareparts"!

I have two scrubbers and they have writing on the handles

This Is For The Toilet
This Is For The Beer

The toilet one sits in a bucket on the floor just inside the garage door.
The beer one hangs on a pegboard above my workbench.

Floater in the Maelstrom Brown Ale

It's actually a pale lager so I'm not sure the browns would work, so maybe

Hahaha! And just what do you think the wife uses to clean around the bottom of the crapper!?!?!

Sorry spareparts, but I had to laugh at this. Good luck going forward.

What kind of chemicals go in the blue toilet bowl cleaner?
