sneeze

[deremer]

SWMBO just sneezed on my started, from my first yeast washing experience. She looked at me and said "don't worry it has a plugger on top."

 

[djsethall]

Did it have a bung and airlock?

 

[deremer]

she was referring to the foam stopper as the plugger

 

[EricT]

Maybe you will have a new strain of yeast

 

[trigger]

I think you should call your next beer:
'snot bad
booger brown ale
ESB (extra special booger)
AAAAHHHHCHoatmeal stout
Sneeze geuze (only if it turns out raunchy)

 

[deremer]

It is a Red hook ESB Clone so, ESB (extra special booger) may be in order

I soak my foam stopper in Starsan before placing on my flask with the thought that it will kill anything that lands on top. Even without the Starsan, the stopper should prevent most airborne nasties from penetrating to the yeast.

On a positive note, the human mouth is very clean.

Really? Practically everyone carries staph and strep in their mouths. Our whole microbiology class swabbed our mouths and cultured them on agar.

Listen to your wife

On a positive note, the human mouth is very clean.

Maybe compared to the inside of our Anus.

Yeah, I was bitten by a cat once, and it got a nasty infection. The nurse who washed it out said that in her experience the only bites worse than cat bites, infection-wise, are human ones. Our mouths are not clean.

Pretty sure fermenting wort will not allow those to persist. Wrong Ph.

funny, had a similar and worse thing on friday.

Popped open my fermenting bucket to dry hop (i do it all in primary). Just as i get the lid off SWMBO swings open the door with such force it could have blown the atmosphere off the Earth, let along a protective layer of CO2 off my bucket....

"Excuse me, do you mind NOT doing that in the future" I say.

She leans forward "why what are you dooo..¤ACCHOOOO¤".

At that point I told her to go away in no uncertain terms.


.....Im sure the beer is fine, melted down a little dextrose and stuck it in with the hops. Everytime something bad happens to my beer I just give it a chance to ferment a few hours longer, more c02, more angry bacteria killing yeast etc.
