Actual slug in my fermenter

[amber-ale]

I got out a bag of grain I hadn't stored too well. Saw little bugs in it. I thought, "If you put them all together, they wouldn't weigh much. And I'll be boiling the beer..."

Yeast nutrients….

Don't forget about Canadian Pilsner and those pesky northern mice.

Yup - Michigan chipmunk. Never did figure out how he got in there for sure, but no sense wasting a good beer . . . It came out good, but it did have a little squirrelly off flavor

I bet it tasted a bit hectical but otherwise totally fine.

To understand the slug, you have to become the slug.

Why do you guys call bullets slugs?

Why do you guys call bullets slugs?

Slugs are heavy and punchy hole-makers for short range brutality.. bullets are light and piercing hole-makers with greater accuracy. Are slugs not as prevelant over there?

In the UK, "No licence is required to possess such ammunition so long as the cartridges contain 5 or more shots." which means buck/bird shot is OK but a single slug is regulated. Hunting the thick woods I would likely have slugs in my shotgun.


We also call fake coins "slugs" for arcades and vending machines.. although those days are pretty much gone.

Are you certain it wasnt from the “Upside Down”?

I hereby declare, this thread has become a "slug fest".
