Poe Law I'm not familiar with but definitely murphy's law as I've been a victim if that here!

Guys I think you're greatly overthinking this. We cleaned our pots and pump and I even used chlorine. Not getting into all the steps but was very thorough and these pieces as we know are designed to withstand bacteria and designed to be cleaned. And we cleaned them. I know human waste is...

Pic from earlier. Very cold here, was snowing but in my basement temperatures should be fine for the stout. I was reading some things on here and it seems like what I should do is let this ferment for a few days then add the remaining ingredient and let age for a few more days, then I will...

I can now report this morning that there is activity in the fermenter it is bubbling wildly. Lots of blow off and what not. Trust me when I say we were very very thorough with how well we cleaned our cattle. I would not want to take any chances especially when wanting to enter a beer and a...

Hi I think I’m understanding the problem. I was confusing two of my conversations on here. In my other conversation I had discussed cupcakes I had access to and wanting to try something with my beer that may be something no one has done before. I noticed now that in this conversation I brought...

I’m sorry i think maybe I don’t have the right idea on here, if you think I’m joking. Take care.

I’ve been taking with a lot of people who say it’s fine. Will bottle this and will be entering this in the brewing competition.

We had a good brew session. I used the cupcakes in the mash mostly and some in the boil. At first we thought we had a smell in the mash maybe from the issue a few Days back but we cleaned too well. I think all is well. Really looking forward to how this strawberry cupcake stout will come out. I...

Ready to try again! Brewpot sanitized. We scrubbed and my buddy even went over it quickly with a propane torch. Ran ozicklean and hot water thru pump for like 39 mins. Back to drawing board. Have a beer with me here for the next journey. GreAt one, sculpin. Cheers!

Someday when I am doing this at full scale I will look back and laugh about it. The sewage and the vomiting and the issues with the police?? I have another set of ingredients and going to get back on the horse as they say tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day as they also say. I’ve been googling...

I don’t understand why this conversation is trolling but appreciate those who have given me honest advice. I am new to this and have had a very bad first experience and where I live I have nobody to ask questions of. I plan to take a step back and do this all the right way. My buddy was the one...

We had a tarping competition in town and I saw a flyer in the post office that was handmade and really cool. I found the artist in the next town over and asked her to design my logo in a few beer labels to start. I had her do it all lowercase and pushed together like my handle is here. So...

Yes I know and was hoping no one else would notice. Somewhat somebody pointed this out to me the other day that my handle looks like I smell weird. This is very disappointing as I’ve been working on paperwork and various things for what I hope will be a successful brewery. But too late to change...

Sorry I was outside and using voice to text but saw it didn’t get my name right so found how to edit.

Thank you. “Is Mell weird?“is definitely something I heard a lot growing up, ha ha. So it’s fitting that this is what I’ll call my brewery. - Mell

Thank you for all of your suggestions. I’ve decided that I can’t throw out the pot since I can’t get another one without really saving up first, but I need to work with these equipment I inherited. I believe that I can use most of your suggestions of boiling and scrubbing and eventually I think...

No I don’t know what that is.

I don’t need a new system I’ve been told my system is top notch. I inherited some very expensive bring equipment from a relative who passed away recently was about to set up a brewery. Unfortunately I don’t know how to use any of these computers and sump pump‘s and all of the other things most...

Yes the lack of a check valve on that drain is a serious issue. We knew that but still decided to hook the pump down the drain to drain out water we were using to clean the pot but we put the pot the pump backwards and so when we flip that switch it sucked back into my kettle. You should also...

Hi, sorry but need to ask... how would one thoroughly clean a brew pot that has been accidentally pumped full of sewage? Our first brew session with the new equipment and we experienced a problem with the punk hooked wrong and experienced what I believe is called suck back where the waste from...
