Did the fly F@#* Me???

[beeraggie]

I racked my great smelling Pils into the secondary the other day. A few days later i noticed a dead fly floating in it. I have had the airlock on it so it must have somehow got in when I racked out of the primary. Question is, do you think it will mess up my beer??? The ABV was a 5.1% when I went to the secondary so hopefully it is enough to kill any diseases or bacteria the fly may have had. I racked into another carboy to get the fly out. The beer tastes pretty good, but not sure if I should worry!!

Bottle as usual and send the entire batch to me for disposal. :fro:

Can someone teach this man how to PROPERLY fly-sparge?

I thought the thread title was a refenced to Mrs. Cheesefood's response after they had sex the first time...

I had a bunch of weevils running around in my grains once. Extra protein mash. I'm sure there was some of this going on:

Damn lucky fly! What a way to go...

Two guys were floating in a life raft in the ocean. One of the guys finds a genies bottle and rubs it. Instantly the entire ocean turns to beer. The 2nd guy erupts saying "Way to go *******, now were are we supposed to pee?".

Man, this is a family board. We don't need to be inundated with this kind of filth. I'm sure Cheese is looking at that picture and polishing his weevil as we speak!

You did remove the fly I hope...

Well if this guy can drink beer made with dirty socks and moldy bread....

You'll live.

Give your beer a few days in the clearing tank. If it doesn't start to smell like vinegar and get white icebergs on top you'll be fine.

Now, the more important question is, when you removed the fly, did you squeeze the last little bits of beer from that greedy little fooker?

Well, I actually stole that link from another thread, but yeah, very funny.

I find it interesting that his episodes stop shortly after that with no explanation. (Likely that his wife had him committed or he died).

 

[boo boo]

lol, don't they get two more wishes???

Of course they do. The first guy wished he was home and poof he was. The second guy being lonley said I wish my buddy were here.

Hey I could market this like the Tequila with the worm in it!!! Wow, a dead fly mayhave just given me the million dollar idea....well, maybe

I found a dog hair floating in my wort while I was cooling it the other week. That batch is definitely being called "hair of the dog pale ale"

An Englishman, a Scott, and a Irishman walked into a pub.
Each orderd a pint of beer. Then a fly landed in each one's beer.

The Englishman, turning slightly green, pushed his beer away and asked for another one.

The Scott took the fly out, shrugged, and drank his beer.

The Irisman pinched the fly between his fingers and yelled
"SPIT IT OUT!" "SPIT IT OUT!"
