Nothing better than spending your day brewing. Then running out to the garage and finding the little neighbor kids cleaning out there grass hopper catchers in your 70 dg. wort. NO!!!!!! Oh well maybe I will give this batch to there father.
Reason #4,372 why NOT to have (or live near) children...drunken midget ankle bitin crumb snatchers...pre-useful, sticky, and annoying...I feel for your loss...you should clean your brew kettle in their kiddie pool!!! And my dog would never crap ANYWHERE but in that lawn...if they can't keep THEIR beasts under control, neither can I
a great post from a person with "i work with crazy kids" as their custom text hehe
So it sounds very likely you'll have nice GRASSY hop flavors come through no?

I didn't find any grasshoppers thank god. They were just stirring it with there catchers. Hopefully I won't find any legs in the trub! First and last time I brew with the garage door open. Had no time to reboil so I'm relaxing and having a nice homebrew right now. Maybe I just figured out the secret to nailing a Old Milwaukee clone.

I like to use my grasshoppers as late additions, really helps the aroma come through. Also found that dryhooping with them doesn't work very well, they just get drunk and start hitting on my sister.
I think grasshoppers work better in the primary. When they swim around they keep the yeast in suspension so the fermentation goes quicker! This is also a good way to restart a stuck batch, just repitch some grasshoppers to get the yeast working again!
kids will be kids.
Second, if my kids did that I'd set fire to them and throw them off the deck.
Insects are protein. Good for head retention.

I'm just sad everyone skipped over my dry grass"hop"per joke.
