Heard a guy at the homebrew shop talking about sanitation. I believe he worked there and was talking to someone interested in learning to brew. Worker told the guy "I've lost a batch of beer from an eyelash falling in there."

Lot to unpack in that story ...

I had someone tell me that Cantillon and other sour beers that are open fermented were deadly the first couple of days because of e. coli and other bacteria. and that is why I should be careful when trying to brew a beer using the dregs of such bottles.

Not quite about beer, and I'm not yet sure if it's funny or not, but here we go.

My uncle claimed that the more you rack a wine, the more alcohol you get.

I laughed at first, but since I'm new to winemaking, I thought about it to see if there a way that could make sense. The only thing I can come up with is that you might wake up some dormant yeast? Seems unlikely to have much of an effect.

Or catch some microbes along the way...

I thought Rogue's Beard Beer was decent. I don't know why eyelash beer would suck...

Not having siphoned anything other than gasoline, my very first batch, first time I racked into a bottling bucket, when the beer reached my mouth, I reflexively spit it out into the bucket

Beer turned out fine

So, this one time, I heard someone say a gose wasn't a sour beer. [emoji6]

I swear there was an interviewee on Experimental Brewing who used Cool Ranch Doritos in the mash for something. I'll post a link if I can find it.

My uncle love him to death he gave me my first beer when I was a boy always drinks budweiser and is a legit alcoholic like drinks a case of bottles only( he will give away canned budweiser ) won't drink any other beer including goodies like Guinness and such won't touch a light beer either won't even try any craft beer because in his words " anything other than budweiser in a bottle is either to close to water to dark to sweet or doesn't taste good in general and I can't believe people actually drink it like depraved animals" this is a man when I was a teenager living at his house he put his girlfriend's head through the wall while ****ing she said hi to me while I was laying on the couch with her head less than a foot from my feet and he kept ****ing her , but people who drink ales and guinness and craft beer are depraved animals I can agree light beer is like water but yeah also this is a man who considers himself a beer connoisseur though as I've clearly stated before he will only drink bottled budweiser he even looks down on cans of budweiser .

She said "Hi"?

she sounds very polite....

Good to know I'm not the only one that happened to! I had fought with the siphon hose for 10 minutes, trying to get it to work. I finally gave up and gargled with iodopher before starting the siphon with my mouth, then reflex kicked in. I bought an auto-siphon the next day!
