Baby toy contamination

[marc1]

In Brew Dogs Episode 7, Jim Koch and the host(?) sat in a vat of wort like a hot tub to inoculate it. The wort went in every crevice of their nether regions.

That is just a gawdawful tale. I would not be the least bit interested in even knowing anyone that consumed whatever was produced.
One has to draw the line somewhere...

Cheers! (trying not to puke)

Might have some off/odd flavors but what about a heat pasteurization step to be safe. 15 sec at 72 deg C kills E. Coli and other nasties. Boiling point of ethanol is 78 deg C. With some carefull temp control you could pasteurize the beer in the middle of this range, cool and then package. Would be a good experiment as an alternative to tossing the batch. If you keg, you’re good to go, but if you bottle you’ll need to add yeast back in.

I guess that would be a viable option.

Didn’t say it was a good idea, just an idea…

just finish what you're doing, get it kegged up, carb'd and tasted... IF its bad, toss it. if it goes bad over time, toss it.. and remember to throw the baby out with the bathwater so to speak.

yet another reason to avoid secondaries

Yet another reason to avoid toddlers!

 

[day_trippr]

Aww...I love toddlers. My youngest grandson has only recently graduated from toddler to human pinball, which is fun to watch
And his father - my youngest son - and DIL announced they'll be having another - the first girl in two generations.

Cheers! (Besides...toddlers have an actual purpose and reason for being. Secondaries? Not so much )

'Fraid I have to go with "no" on both stories.

Just.

No.

At least it was not a pee soaked diaper. Am I the only ex-pat from the old green board?

As long as the toy hasn't been soaking in the wort for too long, I wouldn't expect any problems. After all, the toy was absorbing liquid, not effusing something into it.
The mom's squeezing the toy into the bucket could well be countering this effect, however...

I am no scientist for sure, but did find this... apparently it may not make you sick after all.

Well, bottled her up yesterday. Looked and smelled good. It's got a lot of strong wood and spice flavors that will take several months to mellow, so I guess I'll carefully start trying it out in a few months. Thanks all for the informative and entertaining thread

Here’s a good name for your batch...
