So the SWMBO and I were brewing this evening, an ESB along with our 2yr old son. We basically take turns looking after him. When it came time to cool the wort, we added the necessary amount of ice, dropping a couple of cubes on the floor of our patio (where the turkey fryer is). As we're pouring the cooled wort into the bucket, our wonderful son decides that we missed a piece of ice, picks it up from the floor and proceeds to throw it in the bucket. You should know that he can't throw anything with any sort of deliberate direction, yet somehow he managed to make it right in the middle of the bucket. We'll see how the whole thing turns out. I'm hoping the fact that I did a big 2qt starter will overtake any bacteria that might have been "inadvertently" introduced. All you parents of little ones, take note.
