Golfball in beer

[medic2887]

So ******* of the year award goes to... me. I was brewing an American Pale Ale in my garage. I was about 45 minutes into the boil and waiting on my last hop addition. Of corse, I cant just sit an relax drinking homebrew like an normal homebrewer. I was dicking around with a golf ball and it bounced right into my kettle. I got it out after about 4 minutes of fishing. The ball had some minor melting marks on it. Still had the Nike symbol on it and everything. Internet says golf balls are made of thermoplastic. I think I am good??? I don't want to drink this if it is dangerous though. I definitely cant afford to loose any more brain cells. lol. Any advice?? Pics of the golf ball are attached. Thank you!

Relax, Don't Worry, Something Else Will Kill You First.

Wait, I typed that wrong.

I think you'll be fine. I have no scientific basis for this hypothesis.

My real question is what are you naming the beer? My suggestions include
Duffer
Duck Hook
Medic's Mulligan
Enki (drunk Nike)

My opinion is you just got an option for a great name for that brew.

I think you have a signature beer, yu may want to save that ball so you can replicate the brew some day.

Don't worry, I once new a girl who sucked a golf ball thru a garden hose. Of course, I'm not sure what ever became of her.

How about Duffer Pale Ale brought to you by the My Balls Have Dimples Brewery. I say, mash it, brew it, taste it. If it's drinkable, it's a keeper.

My Balls have Dimples Brewery

that is a classic, That has Style, and because of how it came around that has History

if the OP does not name his Brewery that he has no sense of humor

The real question is, what does this do for your golf game?

I say throw the ball out immediately. God forbid if you eagle the first hole you use that ball for you'll be dry hopping with your balls for luck.

I developed an outer layer for golf balls used today, you're fine.

 

[FloppyKnockers]

Next time yell "FORE"... It's only good etiquette.

Medic2887 on brew day...

Gimme another ball, Romes...

 

[JONNYROTTEN]

So you were playing with you balls while drinking and ended up dipping them in the wrong stew....been there

I never had to actually fish them out but came damn close a few times

Good thought, but I definitely have to keep the ball as a conversation piece! lol Ill just use that ball for putt putt! hahaha

You people are all insane!! I am so glad to have found this place, it feels like home.

keep it, oh hell yea
that ball is now part of a signature beer only you can brew, without it you cannot brew that beer

 

[k1ngl1ves]

You gotta have a lot of balls to brew this again...




Homebrew is all about consistency.




Oh, and make a tapper out of the ball... if you keg.

 

[BentBrewer]

See what you started?

The Food & Drug Administration's recall notice says that McCain Foods USA, Inc. has voluntarily recalled frozen hash browns sold under the Harris Teeter and Roundy's brands because they may be "contaminated with extraneous golf ball materials, that despite our stringent supply standards may have been inadvertently harvested with potatoes."

Make a tap handle with it!

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Here's my question, why and the hell did I not get this until now? 21 days late, I may as well unsubscribe. Great goof up though. I suggest buying floating balls.

You're a golfer. What's a few more?
