No fly in my beer but my dog did start drinking out of my chilled wort bucket am I ok?

And there's the classic excuse of "My dog ate my homebrew..."

I think he ends up drinking more than I do when I'm drinking outside (brew day, BBQ day, yard work etc.) if my beer is down for more than 5 seconds he has it knocked over and is lapping it up. Normally doesn't bug me but the whole batch?!?! Not good!

 

[Brew_Force]

The fly is more than ruined. It's DEAD! It won't revive, no matter how many packets of yeast you add.

Let him rest in peace and drink the beer in his honor.

LOL

I had some macaroni on my mash paddle one time, I figured macaroni is a grain so I let it ride.

An Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman are seated side-by-side at a bar. Each has a mug of beer in front of him.


Simultaneously, three flies land in the beers, one in each mug.


The Englishman looks at his beer, pushes it away and asks the bartender for a new one.


The Scotsman reaches his fingers into the beer, picks up the fly, throws it to the floor and drinks his beer.


The Irishman reaches into the beer, picks up the fly, holds it over the glass and yells, “Spit it out, you bastard! Spit it out!”

Now that is funny!

Maybe more appropriate.

An Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman are brewing a beer.

Simultaneously, three flies land in the wort of each.

The Englishman looks at his wort and dumps it.

The Scotsman reaches his fingers into the wort picks up the fly, throws it to the floor and continues brewing.

The Irishman reaches into the wort, picks up the fly, holds it over the BK and yells, “Spit it out, you bastard! Spit it out!”

Too funny!

My second brew ever turned into "old pot holder brown ale". It was one yucky pot holder then my wife gave to me to brew with. Beer turned out great!

 

[adamreef]

I would definitely not worry about it. I shudder to think what falls, flies and/or crawls onto commercial brew vessels and problems there are rare.

You won't find anything like that in our fv's!

I have some very large pine trees in my back yard. On a very windy brew day, right after I had finished cooling down. A bunch of pine needles feel into my IPA when I pulled the lid off my pot to pullout the wort chiller. Beer turned out just fine. I named it Piney The Elder.

I had a fly happen in my current batch of brew. It was before the boil and now we have a name for the beer. "Belgian Fly Tripel"

Ba-dum Chh!

 

[OatStraw]

Come on guys he wanted serious answers only.

What you want to do is bottle it all up and send it to me for sanitation inspection.

 

[coffeediver]

"Your Fly is Down" ale

 

[LuckyBeagleBrewing]

Leave the fly in and take a hop pellet out. Flies can add at least 1 IBU. Nice earthy flavor.

 

[lou2row]

The biggest question is how do you add this to your beersmith recipe?

 

[iaefebs]

"Your Fly is Down" ale

Brundle beer....

 

[D_Ranged_Eskimo]

I peed in my wort accidentally. Is it ok? And if so, what should I name it and what style would you say it is?

Let me know how your clone of Oskar Blues Mamas Little Yella Pils comes out.

Two flies landed on Airbornes brew kettle.

One got pissed off.

 

[BrewerinBR]

Lmao

 

[Airborneguy]

No flies for me, I just heard from Revvy that pee lowers pH.

Tip of the Day: #1 way to NOT get serious answers only? Ask for serious answers only.

 

[Dan]

Fly? Beer. Airborne danger!

 

[McBrewskie]

Lol at this thread. Had a fly land in my cooling wort today. Jeff Goldblum Saison it is I guess.

 

[chumpsteak]

I made a strong scotch ale and 2 weeks later found a couple bees floating around the primary. Beer turned out awesome. Predictibly named it Bee Heavy.

 

[gwapogorilla]

Did you "FLY SPARGE"? :cross:

 

[GrogNerd]

"serious answers only please"

well, then I can't respond

plus the fact someone already posted the "SPIT IT OUT!" joke that I was gonna use

really? someone says they "pee in their wort" and someone else has gotta throw down a "well, actually" ?

 

[mikeysab]

Let him eat some yeast then watch his disgusting little body explode.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Serious answers ONLy please!!!

You guys are ass holes, and so am I.
