somewhat amusing mishap

I bottled two batches last night: while siphoning the first batch into the bottling bucket, I shifted some things around and somehow knocked one of my daughter's books into the bottling bucket full of beer. Hopefully there was nothing *too* nasty on the book, or my hand that had to go in and grab it. (My hand had been in and out of iodophor solution 100 times, so it's definitely the book I'm more worried about.)

Moral of the story: work in a clean and clutter-free area.

 

How old is your daughter? How often does she handle the book? As I'm sure you know, children are germ factories...that sucks. Keep your fingers crossed.

 

And this time of year is the nastiest time of year. There are some odd things that run out of m daughters nose this time of year LOL

She's a teenager, showers every day, etc. The book had not been handled in several days, I don't think. We'll see, I guess.

 

I hope it wasn't a Wit. Girl cooties will make it taste like raspberry.

 

I'd make a joke about a kriek, but as a father of a daughter, I know how inappropriate that would be. Crap, I think I just made it.

 

That's Hysterical!!!! Bird, you seem to be in the same boat as I am. I'm 35yo and a father of two daughters. No worries. Political correctness is way overrated in my book...

 

whats a kriek?

 

lambic with cherries

 

Ha! thats awesome

 

Your probley fine. At this point its not a welcoming environment; no O2, hop acids, and alcohol.

 

Update:

I opened one of these last night, about 5 weeks after brew day: I knew it would be green, I was mostly curious to see if it had picked up some nasty infection from the book. As expected, everything seems fine.

 

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! Glad it turned out OK.

 

add the title and the author to the recipe
