Possible Contamination (Bodily Fluids!)

Ok, hopefully I got some attention with that title.

Basically I was aerating my wort by pouring from a bottling bucket into the primary, and I didn't notice I was getting warm. One single drop of sweat rolled suddenly off my forehead into the primary just as it was 80% full.

Did I just waste 2 hours of my life?

Not sure it matters, but if you're interested, it was a blackrock canned malt kit, with added dextrose, and LME (boiled).

So will this thing survive? or will it just taste like my wild yeast (ick). Right now that's the best I'm hoping for. Please tell me I'm wrong.

You're fine, Relax, dont worry and have a home brew.

It might morph into something that will feed off small animals and children, I would be pretty careful around it.



....oh, and make sure you're wearing long pants....eek.

IFMracin is right. I would dump it now. If you think the two hours of time was a waste, just think how much time you will have to spend talking to government agents about all of the missing children.

Wow that was incredibly helpful. I'm going to go with El Horno's advice. Love that handle BTW. Wish I'd thought of it. Cheers.

Seriously? One drop of sweat? How did the Babylonians manage to do it.....

Relax, Husher. It'll be all right. Beer is much more resilient than you may think. Sometimes it seems that you almost have to try to mess it up.

No, no, no, no . . . Next time you brew, do what the rest of us do and wear a full environmental hazard suit, and shower in Star San.

If Rogue can make a beer with yeast grown in the brewers beard....

We're all doing it wrong:

I'd dump it, unless you are 100% sure you have no STDs. I'd hate to give someone AIDS via beer

Worst thing to happen is it will be your best beer ever and you'll go around dropping sweat into all your beers from here in out.

I see what you did there!
Nice!

Hard to say. Make sure you sanitize with urine next time.

Could make for some great beer names though.

Two Stones Dew
Mansack Ale

How about:
"taint that the truth" milk stout?

As long as it's not Dingleberry Wheat, I'm cool with it.

Don't they have a goat scrotum ale already? I like the way you're thinking. Thing is, I have a hard enough time convincing my friends I'm not brewing poison as it is. If I outwardly call it 'nut brown nut sack ale', well, then I think I might have to drink all my own stock. Hmmm....nut sack....<Insert maniacal laughter here>

Mine wouldn't be a brown, more like a blond.

Wouldn't that be more of an Irish stout? I guess you could say it'd be a knockout.

"Seriously? One drop of sweat? How did the Babylonians manage to do it....."

Seriously, they're all dead.
