I had a dead mouse in my carboy a couple of years ago. Clean, bleach, rinse, no problems. The first batch after that did have me kind of nervous, but I'm still here and all the beer has been good. P.S. My mouse was still pretty much intact and had kind of started to turn to jello!
 
Mouse bodies? Heck... how many PPM rat poop is in the grain YOU use everytime you brew....

I'm not saying I like it, I'm just saying.
 
The German word for mouse fur is: Mausepelz with an unglaut over the "a". Your friends and probable home brew consumers would just think it was a fancy German beer name.

Or.. Mauseknochen = mouse bones
 
ya this happond to me too.. i had some carboys stored in my barn and one of them had a dead mouse in it.. it was just a pile of bones and fur, you coulds see where the maggots cleaned it right and then turned to flys and flew off.

It was mega gross I just filled it up with water a bleach and let it soke then cleaned as normal. i store my carboys on there side now in carboy crates got a bunch of them from a local bottaling company
